I'm a new participant in the forum from Olney, Maryland. I was injured in an accident at the beach about three years ago, and I'm now a C4/C5 quadriplegic.
It sure is nice to find a forum dedicated to quadriplegics. I can imagine that being a paraplegic is a devastating and life-changing injury, but it seems to me that quadriplegics face problems of an entirely different magnitude. I have two primary areas of interest: Support for Dragon NaturallySpeaking. I am currently using Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10, and it works pretty well for most things, but I have questions from time to time. For example, does anyone know how to copy a block of information from a website and paste it into a document using Dragon voice commands? Quality of life issues. So many of the organizations which help those with spinal cord injuries seem to focus on basic health needs and research and things like that. I am considering starting an organization which would focus on quality-of-life issues only. It is nice to stay alive... but it might be nice to have some fun too. Are you aware of any organizations which focus on quality-of-life issues for quadriplegics and their families? If I were to start such an organization, would that be of interest to you? Thank you, and take care, Dave Krehbiel
