Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: January 1980 Yamaha RD200 vs 16 wheeler truck, result, 1 totally paralysed right arm. I was 21, now 54. I had no surgery, I don't regret this. Decided to totally ignore limitations (easily done aged 21) adapted very quickly to one handed life, got married, had 3 kids, worked- the effect of the injury on my life (once the pain stopped being constant) was minimal and now, aged 54, I very rarely even think of it, unless I bash it or it gets cold, then I wish I'd had it amputated :) Except for a steering knob on my car, I have no adaptations to help with life, mainly because I honestly don't think of myself as disabled and the only thing I can't do is peel potatoes, which is definitely a good thing.

That is amazing Jenny, and soooo coooool !! It's also very hard to believe, cause that big cat looks awfully hungry. Must be maternal instincs to the max. Those cats are also very social critters, and I wouldn't doubt that the big girl is enjoying the company. There's a lesson there, huh ?

AAGGHH! I hope not too! Thanks for posting the story. It was so interesting. I was going to show my 9 year old the story tonight and I'll bet she'll want to print if off and share it with her class tomorrow. She's in 4th grade - loves all animals - has hamsters, cats and a dog. We feed wild raccoons at our backdoor everynight. Sometimes we have possums and stray cats eating with them - last night they all shared leftover pizza. The stray cat has a striped "coon-looking" tail. (Whole other direction with story?!:) Anyway - thanks for sharing the story.

That's funny Jenny.....me thinks it's more like the Lion played with it's food...if the animal wasn't so well fed it would have eaten that tastey treat right off the hat...YUMMY 2 big bites :)
