Re: [Spinalcordinjury] Howdy... do you accept incompletes here?

But then again you would have to look at it from a SCI perspective.. at lease brain injury people can walk. Although it does not justify much but a person with aSCI is missing alot. Its not just the fact you dont have ur legs you miss way more then that and ou would have to be in my shoes to understand that much!
