Submitted by SCIS on Thu, 02/19/2009 - 01:00A lot of people find this site via Google when they are searching for answers when spinal cord injury makes an unwelcome appearance in their lives. I get emails from people that sometimes touch me deeply. I thought this one was particularly powerful and am sharing it with the permission of the wonderful woman who wrote it:
Hello,
First of all, I want to tell you how much I love this site. I agree, Spinal Cord Injuries Suck and most people have no clue. I have read most of your posts and have passed on some of the information to my daughter, who is a recent C5 Incomplete Quad.(Just typing that out makes me cry) Feels the same way you do about the bowel and bladder program. Recently, told her boyfriend, who started showing-up less and less, to move on. Didn't want someone around, who felt "obligated" to hang with her. Wanted to focus on her recovery and didn't feel like she could be a very good girlfriend to him right now.
