Hello. I look forward to learning from the members of CareCure.net. I’m a para, T8 incomplete. My first SCI was decades ago due to a cancerous tumor on my spinal cord. Most recently I have had two additional SCIs during the past six years. I was born under a bad sign or maybe more realistically a bad spinal cord.

Welcome to CC! It's a great place to get suggestions, support, etc. I've benefitted a lot from information about disability related equipment. I am paralyzed from Polio decades ago and currently navigating old age issues to try to stay independent. I push a manual wheelchair indoors; when I go out I use my ZX1 scooter which attaches to my wheelchair as I'm unable to push outdoors anymore due to shoulder weakness.

I’m retired, not necessarily by choice, but do a lot of volunteer work at both the local and national level. I’m also an avid gardener, and have two hens and a cat which don’t require much time but somehow I spend a lot of time with them. I’m finding that I don’t accomplish much these days even though I always feel busy. No one has ever said this but I was born with a “bad” spinal cord as a tumor was discovered at T10 when I was 14. Then 40 something years later I had a bleed in the same area. Four years after that I contracted sepsis in the hospital which turned into an unusual bacteria which started eating my spine. Fusion T4-8 and hopefully threes the charm.
