Re: [Spinalcordinjury] NEW INJURY

Jason,

I was like you when I had my accident almost 5 years ago... You have to realize that there is nothing you can do but make the best of it... Read up on everything you can about being a Para... There is alot of things out there for you and you have to take advantage of it... May I ask how old you are if you don't mind.... This is a good group, there are lots of people out there that can give you moral support... I'm coming up on my accident anniversary and I get depressed.. knowing that if only I didn't drive that day I would be okay but that's not reality... I have to go forward and just do the best I can... Is there a support group in your area? I would recommend one, they are a great help. any questions just email me and I"ll try to help... Keep your chin up!
