Hi All,
 I have been a para since 1974, not sure if complete or not , was never explained in those days, and just never think about it. My neck was broken at c-3, 4 , & 5, my back was broken at t-2 & 3. I have a very full life, my kids are all grown now I enjoy the love of doing for and with my grandkids, have 4. I had 2 kids after accident, so life does go on, although it wasn't always easy wouldn't trade places with anyone, also had 3 year old at the time of accident. I don't know why anyone would wonder how long we live, just live. Sure I'll get some slack for that, but that's just my opinion.
Later to all and to all moms
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello Candle,

 

I am 57 and I am a c3-4 incomplete post 17 yr. and I plan to live a great life till the end comes. I live each day to the best ability I can and don't worry about when or how it stops.

 

Life is to short to worry about how long you live, just enjoy the life you live.

Hi Candle

 

I'm Don (scamper95) I'm a c 5/6 incomplete 19 plus years. barring any unatural causes I figure when my number is up then I'll know the answer, but until then I'v got othr things to do so don't worry about when your going to die, it's not worth the headace.

Does anyone know the life expectancy for people with SCI? Someone made a comment that they thought out life expectancy was shorter because of the trauma and how our bodies deal with it. Does anyone know how I can find out?
