Sure he can walk, and go to the bathroom by himself. He can watch television and smell the flowers. He can go and come as he likes. But having a major head injury is probably the worse disability. I can empathies with Greg as I have a son with a major head injury and also a friend. It seems that their brain receives all the input that their senses can capture, but unfortunatelly, the brain may not be able to process it rightly. The output is the most difficult part. The worst part it seems, is that they look all right physically, and no one believes that they have a disability. I prefer to live with my disability. I felt like responding to Greg when I first read his message of complaint, but waited to see more of his messages. cheers, REd -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!163!223!Red.Maple Internet: Red.Maple@f223.n163.z1.fidonet.org
