Hi, i'm new to this so bear with me please. I've only been dating my boyfriend for a few weeks and he had a sci a couple of days ago. I looking for any and all advice anyone is willing to give me. As of yet the extent of his injury is not known. I would like to be there for him but i know it's very early in the relationship still. Any tips?

yeah. Spend time reading plenty of message archives here. You won't be able to read them all there are just too many but there is a vast amount of useful information to be found. The "search" facility is a useful tool for finding specific topics. Good luck. You are taking on a mammoth task. He will be lucky if you stay with him.

my boyfriend and I were only dating for a short period of time when I had my accident and 9 months later we're still together. it's a roller coaster ride so be prepared for the good, the bad and the ugly. it's not easy but it's possible. good luck and feel free to ask as many questions as you'd like. you'll get tons of great answers from great people who have already gone/are going through the same thing.
