Welcome to Discussions

Hi lilcripplegirl

Welcome to Disaboom-I'm a c5/c6 quad. Currently, I'm attending college to receive a BA in psych.

Stay Strong

Thanks everyone for the great welcome. I'm going to school for speech therapy.  I LOVE going to concerts and have a pretty great life; it'll be nice to have you guys to relate to.

I'm a 31 y/o incomplete quad. I live in Asheville, NC. I'd like to be able to talk to people like me.

 

 

Hi LCG - welcome. You've made the most crucial step in connecting with people 'like you' by reaching out here at Disaboom. I don't know anyone else who has a spinal cord aneurysm, or who had an AVM hemorrhage in their spinal cord, but because I said 'hello' to others in a forum for people with similar malformations I've made so many friends who are very similar to me, and with people from forums who also have SCI. 

 

TriDog made a great suggestion about the wheelchair sports. Also, if you've got a little time and are inclined and able, you might consider doing some volunteer work. Once I began volunteering for various projects with a group for malformations similar to the type I have - a health fair here, a conference there, fund raisers here and there, etc., I began to make friends from right here where I live, to other states.

You have the world ahead of you as far as connecting with people. Once you get started - between talking with people on sites like Disaboom, and exploring suggestions such as have been made in this thread, the possibilities are endless - the only limitations are the ones you might impose on yourself. Have a great time and great fun!!

 

Another great site I know about where you can connect with lots of other wheelies is: http://sci.rutgers.edu/

 Hey Girl...Welcome to Disaboom

Greg you have little movement and your body does not have the range of motion it used to. Drinking alcohal is probobly the worst thing you could do other than huffing glue or doing meth amfetamens. So the cards are stacked againced you unless you want to die sooner. Good luck Tom
