Nah been able bodied to long, loose any abilities/senses I covet I'm getting someone to take me out
I had this convo with my mom. If I was suddenly not able to enjoy motion the way I used to, being able to pick things up or more around the same way, I would prefer the accident kill me. I might feel differently if I have kids.

Bradley uses an $8,000 custom-made shower chair that fits in his downstairs bathroom, but the process is so onerous for Carrie that she bathes him only twice per week. Occasionally she has had to help with bowel-movement cleanup when her husband has an accident and an aide can’t reach him. In such a young marriage, these are boundaries that Bradley wishes Carrie never had to cross, but the line between spouse and caretaker has already blurred irrevocably. They visit a therapist together, and separately, trying to navigate scenarios that neither of them could have fathomed when they exchanged vows. “I didn’t ask her to do this,” Bradley says. “This isn’t what ‘in sickness and in health’ typically means.”

Can't say I would blame you
was the driver held accountable? how do you not see him?

Terrible news. I would never hit a biker but I don’t understand how folks don’t just go bike at a trail that’s safe from idiots and drunks

Nah, this is exactly what it means.

When people say “in sickness” they should be thinking of worst case scenarios.

If you can’t be committed to taking care of a paralyzed spouse for many many years, you shouldn’t marry that person.
