I saw Coleman earlier this month at the Los Angeles Fit Expo. He had a booth, was sitting there, greeting fans, signing autographs, and doing photos albeit all with him sitting. He appeared to be in very good spirits.
To me, it is almost painful to see him in his current condition; his motorized wheelchair, his thin legs or arms taped up (I assume to prevent swelling). It's like one of those "you could never ever believe what this man used to look like compared to what he looks like today."
As for what I would do if I were him, I don't know. I might go away and hide forever so that no one would ever see what I look like today. Or, I might do exactly what he does: get out and interact with the fans and provide each a moment of enjoyment. And perhaps it provides him a lot of enjoyment as well.
