Rett, Thank you for these videos! Already you have answered many questions I never had a chance to ask you. I hope you continue to do this. I love the pic of your pop in the background...I remember how patient and nice he was when he would drive us to hunter safety classes a million years ago. Good memories!

Thanks again Jeff. I really appreciate the positive comments. After your last comment, I told Amy about going to the range with you in early elementary school. Good memories indeed!

Hi Rett! Thank you for sharing these amazing videos... I’m learning so much!! You mention in this video that you don’t experience phantom pain. However, since there was a time in your life when you did have the ability to walk, I’m curious if you ever have dreams (while sleeping) where you are walking? Thanks again! Tom

That is an interesting question Thomas. Let me say first, generally speaking I do not remember many of my dreams. While perhaps not quite a rarity, it is not frequently that I remember my dreams of the previous night. In the years immediately following my injury I was always a "walkie" in my dreams. As the years marched by, I would begin to appear in my dreams as a quad in a wheelchair. Often, I would be in the chair for some of the time and then stand up out of it, with great effort. As more years passed, a greater portion of my dreams included me as a quad, often unable to arise from the wheelchair. Nowadays, I am virtually always in a wheelchair. On occasion I am able to lift my arms upward or, with great effort, price from the wheelchair. These days I am almost never able to move or walk. Interestingly, my dreams often include me being enmeshed in a very viscous and sticky goo which makes any movement whatsoever extremely difficult.
