I watched a documentary this weekend on netflix. Might be on youtube. Its about a guy with half a body named Kenny Easterday.

I am still amazed at this individual and what he can do despite of his limitations. I think he is a great inspiration to everyone. For me #1 - it is a testament to the power of willpower. I honestly believe only 1 in 1,000,000 could have survived with his condition as long as he has and with such a vitality - he can do everything I can do pretty much - sheerly 100% because of willpower. I think most would have broken down and given up.

#2 as a testament to what the human body can survive

Really would recommend this for someone that needs some inspiration and to see the power of willpower!

May we all be well soon!

Opugirl, you are 1000% right on how inspiration helps. Thank you for sharing this story. I will share one of mine.

I used to work in a place that shared the parking lot with a dialysis center. There were many days when just about everything at work went wrong and I would leave in bad spirits and with a headache. But as I was leaving for the day, I could see these people in a room, laying in these hospital beds, packed like sardines (no less than 20 per room) and hooked up to these machines. This always put my day into perspective, and I am sure that no matter how bad a day I had, everyone in that room would trade places with me in a heartbeat.
