I'm still torn…

The following paragraph was a blog post for my class a couple of months ago.I still feel as strongly about this issue, now, as I did when I wrote it.  However,  in hindsight, I realize the importance of putting some emotional distance  between when I read this article, and when I wrote about it.  Now, I feel compelled to write as a means to process it, somehow. Honestly, I still struggle with this, and I probably always will. I don't agree with how this happened, but at the same time, I would not want someone else dictating my quality of life.


I'm still shaking as I read this article on AOL this morning. All I know is that action must be taken NOW in the treatment of spinal cord injuries, so that at the very least, some other choices exist. The lobbyist leeches and the pharmaceutical companies better get it together… Soon!
