Hmmmm....interesting article. I wish she had allowed her medical records to be looked at because it is hard to know why she needed the chair anyway. Little of her initial cause of disability, and even less of her accident caused cure makes sense to me. A small price to give up the Paralympics to be able to walk again as far as I am concerned. -

Is this article about Monique van der Vorst? She is Dutch, so I saw a lot about it on TV. It makes me really angry! I wish it was soooo easy, but don’t believe it. I think she hasn’t had a SCI. On Dutch TV there was an interview with a (I think her) rehab-doc, who was telling that she probably had the leg function (and feeling) earlier (immediately after her accident) , but she wasn’t recognizing it because she was so busy with her sport carrier….Last edited by Saskia; 24 Jan 2011, 7:03 PM.Comment

Her main disability was post traumatic dystrophy, her ‘SCI’ came later as a result of an accident, she was hospitalized for a short time, and didn’t went to rehab.Originally posted by Eileen View PostComment

It's awful, isn't it? Almost makes the shooting in Tucson seem like a non-story.Originally posted by darkeyed_daisy View Post
I can't stand people who bitch about small shit anymore.
"It's difficult because I need to find a new purpose in life."
If she wants to compete so badly, she can join something she is eligible for. Makes sense to me.

I think I can understand how Monique might feel. Her life as she knew it has totally changed. It is a shock, a good one, but a shock none the less.Originally posted by Le Type Français View PostIt's awful, isn't it? Almost makes the shooting in Tucson seem like a non-story.

I remember coming home from rehab after months in the hospital when I was a kid. I so wanted to be home. But it was all so different when I go home. It was somehow no longer familiar and took a lot of adjustment.
Imagine a prisoner wrongly convicted and spending years in prison. Release would be a shock.
We are all somewhat defined by our own image of ourselves. Which often comes from circumstances beyond our control. It is a shock when going through this big of a change.... even if on the surface it is an amazingly positive change.Adaptive Sports Forums.com

That's a fair point of view. I suppose I'd find myself lost if I became able-bodied again.Originally posted by My395 View PostComment
