Bobbie, it's not important how you became a quad, The important part is what you do afterward.
You know I respect you.

Yes, Bobbie I do. My experience is on the flip side of that though. When I tell people I had a hiking accident, people tend to feel VERY bad for me, since hiking is seen as rugged and outdoorsy, and I'm not likely to be "rugged and outdoorsy" again ;-)River When I tell people who ask me "how

They said a lot of people get it after many years of spinal cord
injury. I don't know if that's true.

Welcome Barbara,
I'm Mark 40 yrs old anda C5/6 going on 7 yrs post now and the first 2-3 years are the hardest.
I was in a nursing home for 2 1/2 years and that's no place for a youngster like you so stay clear of that.

Barb,
I was also injured at 19. July 1, 1986. I know this won't be very
reassuring but in terms of sci you're still very new. I'm sure
everyone on this list has had days or even much longer periods where
they asked themselves "what's the point?" It can take time to figure
out what to do next.
My bad then, I
misunderstood. I apologize.

I've had that happen to
both my heels and they finally had to be surgically debreided in '93(sp?)

Whoa! Didn't mean to dispute your experience as not suffocating.
Only to explain that the way it happens to sci is usually
instantaneous. From normal to nothing in the blink of an eye.

No you are thinking of needing glasses - the going blind thing.
SCI is definitely related to "Mach II, hair on fire", 10 feet tall and bullet
proof - and of course the, "that won't happen to me" mentality we all had at 19
( yes I was 19 as well.) I did some pretty silly things with my

aren't deep so I just left mine open to the air. Check with your
doctor. Find out what he wants to do next.

Hi Barbara,
I'm glad you found this list, I did know did not know about it, when I was in new injury as I did not have the computer until 85 and not connected to the Internet until 2003 . I'm not even sure when this was started, maybe someone can tell us. I could never thank Jim Lubin enough
How do we do it? Very
simple answer: One day at a time. Before you know it many years will have
passed. A funny thing about time: the older you get, the faster time
passes. Don't worry, Barb. You'll make it.

Hiya Barbara,
You don't know me and that is not too important at this time, but for the
next 2-3 years, you are on a mission to get to know your body all over
again. During the last 12 months, the doctors, nurses and therapist have
been handling your body like its a piece of meat and you've

out. Twas caused by a cast applied for a broken leg and crushed knee. Had to

heal.

That salve is probably granulex or something similar. Make sure you don't
get it on the healthy flesh. It tends to eat whatever it touches.
