Because Know One Should Cope With A Spinal Cord Injury Alone


When I was injured in 1999 (C3 – C6 Incomplete Quad per a driving accident), I was extremely overwhelmed by everything. I entered a world of the unknown, not only confused with everything that was happening with my injury but also the complete reassessment of my life. How do you deal with the sudden impact that follows a SCI that affects your family and friends as well? This site was created in 2005 to provide peer support to the spinal cord injured community, and the friends and family members who are also affected because know one has to cope with a spinal cord injury alone.

Hollywood in 2040, Photoshopped

These pictures are as you can see photoshopped but they are not far from true. However you look on them, these photos are so cool and nicely shopped.

A Holiday smorgasbord with something for everybody! A poll, Some food (for thought) and some Holiday Humor!

POLL How many ways are there to become disabled?
Pretty simple, only one question. How many ways are there to become disabled? Please list as many as you can think of!

I tell those that think that disability issues will never affect them this. 1 in every 8 people will become disabled at some point in their lives! As we gather with our loved ones for the holidays, try this. Look around at all the people closest to you. Now think about 1 in 8 of them becoming disabled. Still think it won’t affect… Continue

Do I have the luck or what?!

So I go in Friday at 1 to get my ezlock set up. It’s a 2 hour drive each way so we left home about 10:30am to give us plenty of time. We get there about a quarter till 1. They tell me they need my chair for about 45 minuets to an hour to put the bracket on the bottom of it. Ok, so we transfer me to a recliner they have there. Over 4 hours later they are finally done with my chair. I’m HOT! And they haven’t even started on my van! Great! Then they start my van. They have me get in, mark the locat… Continue

Sally’s Petition

Greetings: Sally is a young woman in our program who would love to travel all over the world. However, she cannot sit in a regular airplane seat. She needs the support of her own customized wheelchair. Sally created a petition to the airline industry, asking them to accommodate her by letting her bring her own wheelchair into an airplane. (Attached is a copy of Sally’s story, and a petition which can be downloaded.) This issue affects millions of others as well.

We’ve been circulating Sally’s P… Continue

Appointments every day between me and Mary, my nephews wedding, on Halloween no less! Never a dull moment! Where to start?…

Since my last posting on the 26th we spent the last few days before Halloween going to Dr. appointments and getting ready for our nephews wedding. They were wed on Halloween, which fell on a Satur… Continue

Power Chairs

I am interested in purchasing a power chair, I have used a manual chair for 35 years. I am looking for a chair that can be used indoors and outdoors, but is powerful enough to travel over sand, grass, curb, etc. and looks cool. I prefer a little speed 6mph or more. Any suggestions?

Rest In Peace Sarge

Darryl (Sarge) Sargent
April 13, 1960 --- December 19, 2007

I don't know how to say this, but Darryl (SARGE) passed away yesterday following a car accident Sunday night. I know he would have wanted you all to know. You all made such a difference in his life. It meant everything to him to know he was not alone. God bless you all.
