Re: anyone else have this happen?

<t>I understand. Me and my family have always been on the touchy side but after my accident I came back from california to have my family close and they didn't help much at all.

Re: Triathlons

<t>Ok i am confused.<br/> <br/> I have always want to do a triathlon as i was an avid swimmer and biker before my injury. The run was always what i felt would kill me, but now it is all i can do. How does everyone swim?<br/> <br/> With one arm? Freestyle? <br/> I probably have more use of my affecte...
