    Welcome, I have spinal damage, if you want chat or ask any questions.

    If you have or haven't, I recommend contacting SIA Spinal Injury Association.

    Myself I've decided to complete a collection I started at 12yrs old. A new hobby, watch films and series I have always ment to, but never got round to and play games on my game consoles that need more attention or that retro play. Also spare time is great to read a series of books.

    I wish Luck and the best for personal journey 😉

    hi thank you

    Mine was due to an operation on my spine both stroke and spinal injury was no where near the operation, no one is sure how it happened. I had a numb right leg before op due to a disc come out so they was going to refuse all below L2-S1 … I have some movement and I can walk with crutches in the house or with a walker but outside I use a wheelchair. How long you had your spinal problem

    Since I was 18, 29yrs ago, not my happiest moment. I was having my 5th cancer treatment at the time. Unfortunately the cancer cells had survived in my spinal fluid.

    😉 Thankyou survivor, unlucky we all just get with what we have. I try to see the best things in life, like watching my Niece's growing up. Life events I would have missed and the insanity. You take Geminigiri
