Andre – What was the hardest part about coming home?

I guess the main thing; I just wanted to be as independent as possible, so getting home at first was pretty hard.  At first, I was in a power chair more; I didn’t have much upper body strength because I didn’t start really doing my outpatient physical therapy, and strengthening and stuff like that.  I guess the hardest part about being at home was adjusting to everyday life.  I didn’t really want to be a burden on my wife or anyone else, so I always wanted to be as independent as possible.  That was always my goal.
