Thanks everyone for the warm welcome .
I know I disappeared for about a week, but I'm just starting college again.. so my time has been really occupied..
Sure. I have a rare disorder called Osteo Genesis Improfecta. It's a very rare birth defect -- which many "types" of it are really bad, and only have a life expectancy of about 5 years old. I myself, thankfully, have one of the lesser forms, so things are good -- but I've had easily over a 100 broken bones in my life time. My disorder essentially, effects my bones, so they break far more easily. That said, ever since I hit about the age of 18 it's not been a problem. I rarely have issues.. my main thing though, is just the wheelchair.. which I guess in some ways is turn off, but it is what is. I figure people like me for who I am, or don't like me at all.. .
Anyway, great to meet you all. I'm looking forward to posting here regularly.. assuming I get some free time!

I have only used my wheelchair for a yer due to multiple sclerosis.
