👍👍👍 great work!!

Just been told about this by jacques at backup.
It’s a just now a year since yacht accident abroad made me burst # T6/9 incomplete.
So wish I’d found you earlier in my journey. What a refreshing approach informative, funny and inspirational.
Your bringing me hope!! Just when I was beginning to get despondent. Keep it up. 🙏

What spinal unit?

Very informative, but I thought the phrase “your spinal unit” cropped up too much. Sadly, there are too many people who don’t have access to one, and they are the people who need this sort of information most.

Found my smile thanks to you guys!

I’m currently in acute care at Frimley Park Hospital waiting for my bed at Stanmore. I have been here 9 days with SCI C5-7 incomplete ASIA B.
Thanks for making me smile and actually realise how lucky I am to be having the opportunity to have my rehabilitation at Stanmore and that my life really will be okay.
Oh, and understanding about poo.... I’m obsessed with my bowels!!!
