Re: [Women with SCI] Hi!!!

Hi,
I am a 44 year old women wha has had a sci for 8 years.  i also have a
daughter.  she was 3 when I became paralized.  things changed drastically.  she
does not remember me walking.  I am also a single mom with no help form her
dad.  I do have great friends who have made sure that she experiences
everything.
She is noiw 11.  I tend to be involved in so much of her life.  I volunteer at
her school. I was in graduate school but don't like the programs close to home. 
have not decided what to do next.
it was great hearing about you. 
mary

Subject: [Women with SCI] Hi!!!


Hello!
   How are you all doing? Good here!!! I guess I'll start off by introducing
myself.... :) I am 28yr's old and have lived with SCI since the age of 9mo's old
after a car accident claimed the life of my mother and step father. I am a proud
mom to my beautiful 5yr old daughter, have a great job and wonderful husband!!
and i'm also one class away from a associates degree in Criminal Justice! I am
very excited about meeting other women here!!! When I had my daughter i had so
many questions about how to raise her while haveing a SCI so far it's worked out
GREAT! She's an awesome kid!!! :) Anyhow again I'm excited and can't wait to
meet you all!! :)
