At times even Boy About Town gets a tad tired of all this Hollywood fluff. I mean how many times can you write about some untalented "starlet" getting out of a car sans panties. As many of you know my last blog "Boy's Buzz" was dedicated to just this type of "news story". And it made me well known & paid my bills, thank you Lindsay Lohan, Britney, and all ya Kardashian blood suckers. But during that time in my life, through my travels, both cyber & real world, I met some people that truly wowed me. People that, I believe, not only changed their world but changed the world we live in. I would like you all to meet one such person, Angela Madsen.
While on duty with the Armed Services of the United States Miss Madsen injured her back. While the injury was not life threatening it was not a pleasant experience. So in 1993 our little United Sates vet went in for surgery which while major, still had Angela heading straight home with a clear goal to be back on her beloved surf board within a year. As you will soon learn Angela is VERY goal orientated. But the doctors at the VA hospital made a "mistake" while performing this life changing operation on her back. Even I know that a "mistake" in the region of all that important stuff back there is never good. And what do ya know, Boy About Town was right, please take note, it does happen. Angela was "informed" upon awaking that she was now a paraplegic & would be requiring a wheelchair. That's it! No preamble, just BAM! Now let's recap shall we folks? Serve your country...yippee, hurt your back....ouch, become paraplegic.... WHAT!!
I have never been called lazy & I too have been handed a few curve balls in life but waking up paralyzed....Check Please!

At some point she began to look at all this as a gift. In the coming years Angela seemed to think God was a major factor in what she did with her situation. That sounds good & maybe true too but I have met Mr. & Mrs Madsen. And I truly believe this Florida couple need their own reality show. He is a World War II vet that takes no gruff from anyone & she is a lovely lady that always has a quick comeback for every occasion. These two are the type you want to sit next to at a dinner party so you can rip the other guest to pieces together! But they expect you to work hard. And that i just what Angela did!
