Hi There, You could be in the best spot in the world, The QuadList. We don't offer guarantees on this board. We can only offer him the very best in what he chooses to do with his life... now and in the future. We can offer him some prayers. We can answer alot of your questions. We can't say that he will walk, dance, sing and become a millionaire next year. People facing this kind of injuries face all kinds of hurdles, acceptance come later. I don't believe that there is a member of this list that wouldn't consider trading places with your boyfriend who has a T7 injury. For most of those on this are quads with cervical injuries that offer less mobility than your boyfriend can look forward to. Listen to the message we offer and judge for yourself. Best Wishes to you and your boyfriend and loved ones! W In a message dated 06/12/2004 05:01:31 GMT Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
I do not know if I am in the right spot but I sure do hope so. I personally do not have a spinal cord injury but recently my boyfriend has been diagnosed of having a spinal cord injury. He was at the wrong place at the wrong time and got shot at a club which caused him to become paraplegic. He is only 21 and not dealing with this at all. Is has been to one of the best rehabilitation center in our city and is continuing going to rehab but he has yet to accept the fact that he may never walk again:( The doctors told him that is a 95% of a chance that he will not regain his mobility again but we want to believe otherwise. Now, i do not know if we(meaning th family) are in denial about his injury but I want to beleive that his injury in the hands of a high power. I guess what I want to know what is the probablity of him walking again? He was diagnosed a SCI T7 complete. I have done several research on this but nothing says anything about mobility..He says his legs jumps continously but like i told him they are spasms...He aslo said he feels pressure in his penis as if he has to urinate like actually get up and go urinate but due to his injury he cannot. He also said he feel his legs being cold but I do not know if that is a mind thing or if he really feels that sensation... What to do? What to say? He does not have the physical support like he thought he was going to have which gets him really down and me being not in his situation I continually say the same thing over and over which I know he gets tired of hearing... Do you'll have any advice I can tell him or rather a reality that I can give all of us? Please help me! >>
