Hi @cockneyqueen - welcome to this friendly & supportive community, & thank you for joining. You've certainly been advised to come to the right place. We have some lovely members, whom I'm sure you'll get to know. Do you mind me asking what damage occurred to your spinal cord? If you're comfortable in saying, we might have other members with something similar.

As Tori asks, how are you doing? If you have any questions too, then please ask away. My best wishes.
