If you can keep your head when all others are losing there’s.....
Not to be funny but… Welcome Matt, I can remember when I first broke my neck at 18, I’m 45 now. The hospital had alook at my injuries and gave me 17 years, here I am 28 years later. It’s daunting isn’t it? What to do? I’m not going to tell you but I will say… try and get out as much as you can, look after your skin on your bum. I’m C4/5 and I locked myself away,,, never went out except in the back garden… which is great for me. Never give up because it’s going to be tough lad, you are going to go through so much but just take a big breath and say… “Feck It”…I’m sure. Stay positive and don’t be afraid to ask, I’m C4/5…

Hi everyone, My name is Matthew, or matt for short, I am an incomplete c3 quadriplegic, although I function at the level of c5, and I'm from california, hence the name. I'm 18 years old and was injured just before I was about to move into my dorm for college, since then a lot has happened most of my friends either moved away for school or became distant in general after my accident, I spend most of my time with PT and other various drs appointments, recently i've tried to get back into gaming but that's an uphill battle when your hands don't really work too well haha, if anyone plays hearthstone let me know! Anyways I'm just looking to meet people to talk too who I don't feel the need to mask my disability too, I'm a single heterosexual male but I'm open to talking to anyone. A little more about me, I'm known to have a dry-ish sense of humor at times, I'm pretty easy to talk too I think, and it's okay to be a little strange, I promise I won't run away. ( mainly because I can't (see dry humor) ) Hi matt I’ve just signed up to this forum so can’t yet PM. I spend a bit of time in Cali doing physical therapy. Then I’m in the uk for the rest of the year. I’m a similar level of injury to you so just wanted to reach out n say hi
