Spinal Cord Injury

If you're here to learn more about spinal cord injury, you've come to the right place. Whether you are a spinal cord injuree, a family member or friend of someone with a spinal cord injury, or a medical professional, I hope to answer your questions, and where appropriate, ease your pain and fear.

I am a spinal cord injury survivor myself. I am a C3-C7 incomplete quadriplegic. If you don't know what this means, it means my spinal cord injury is in my neck, and it affects my entire body. It also means that I can some control and feeling below my neck.

If you are looking for information on spinal cord injury, and haven't been able to find what you're looking for, I understand your frustration. I have gone through it myself for the past thirteen years. I looked for a book that would serve as a guide to what to expect physically and emotionally. And a guide that would prepare me step by step how to put my life back together.

There are so many words the doctors throw at you after a spinal cord injury. Complete. Incomplete. Cervical. Thoracic. Lumbar. Sacral. "C-something." "T-something."" L-something."" S-something."" Tetraplegia.""Quadriplegia." Paraplegia. Anterior Cord Syndrome. Brown-Sequard Syndrome. Central Cord Syndrome. Cauda Equina Syndrome. Posterior Cord Syndrome. Babinski's Sign. Hoffman's Sign.

After many years of looking and not finding the book I wanted, I decided to write it.
