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.

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?

The story of Jacob

Sorry I didn’t post last week. The biggest reason why (besides the normal insanity) is because of a strapping young dark haired fellow by the name of Jacob. He was suppose to come and meet us on Monday, but no call no show. So we waited, wondering what was going on. Tuesday came & went, then Wednesday passed, Thursday went by and still no word. I was waiting to post until after we had met with this Jacob. Finally on Friday morning we got word that he was coming to meet with us at last. Long… Continue

AT LAST! CHAIRDOZER‘S NEW CHAIR!

I haven’t been around my computer much this week but here’s why. I went up Monday, October 12th and picked up my brand new, bright blue Q6000xl power chair! My dme had me go to them because it was much easier and faster to get it custom fit to me. Otherwise they would have to bring it out, test fit it, make whatever adjustments they could in the field, measure me up for any custom pads, belts, ect. Then take it back to their shop, build them, install them, come back out, if something wasn’t righ… Continue

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.
