Hey y’all I wanna introduce myself as I’m new here. I’m a 21 year old guy with a SCI ~2.5 years ago leaving me quadriplegic (c5/6). I have no finger & triceps function and weak core strength. I mostly use my manual chair though I also have a electric one. Some things I enjoy are music, art, drawing, plants and animals. I’m also interested in politics and social justice. Feel free to ask me any questions or dm me

Welcome. I had my accident when I was your age, and from a medical perspective we seem exactly the same. In other words: You remind me of my younger self. I wish you strength for the years to come and I hope you find what you are looking for here... whatever it may be.

Welcome to PD, and I hope you enjoy hanging out here and getting to know everyone. You're my son's age group, and you stated you became a quad 2.5 years ago; you were about 18 or 19 then? That's my younger son's age. May I ask how it happened?

That's my younger son's age. May I ask how it happened? Thank you! I was 18 when it happened, I just finished school and to celebrate my friends and me went camping at a lake. We got drunk and decided to go swimming again in the night, I don’t remember exactly how it happened but we jumped in the water and I hit a shallow spot of the water and broke my neck. All of us jumped but I was the only one to hit the shallow spot. Happened on the first day of our trip too

Thank you flo for your explanation. It really touches me because my son is 19 and is a very typical 19-year-old with lots of friends and I often worry about him. Just the other day, he went snowboarding without a helmet and I argued with him a bit because I worried. You know how moms are... Anyways, welcome again! I know we've got younger people here as well. How did you find us?
