      I think Buddy hasn't really accepted his limitations yet - 
however his determination to walk and move around and KEEP moving is 
what keeps him going (so the doctors told me).  I do believe that he 
needs to accept what he can and cannot do though .... Prehaps in time 
he will learn to do that.  Prehaps his injury is still 'too new' (1988 
last surgery) ...
