Hi my name is Ben 3 years ago I had an accident on a trampoline which resulted in me breaking my neck.
I'm now a quadrapegic I have an incomplete spinal cord injury and am paralysed from my chest down.
Im lucky to be alive and lucky as im not ventilated.
I spent 3 weeks in intensive care where i managed to start breathing unassisted then was again lucky I was transferred to a spinal unit.
I spent 10 months in the unit and then moved to my own adapted flat where I now live with help from carers.
At the time of the accident I was married unfortunately as is the way often after this level of injury our relationship broke down and I have been separated for 2 years.
I'm at the point where I want to start talking and socialising with people who accept me as I am.
Im starting to get my head round the situation and hope that by talking to new people here it will help me.
So if you fancy chatting drop me a line Ben x
