Welcome! Sorry you are scared, I am not scared...I am fearless, so you may borrow some of my fearlessness and get through all this and come out the other side of the tunnel strong enough to do this...this site has info, fellowship, and some other stuff with which I'll be kind and not hit you with yet - oh ok, I'll let you know that sometimes we like to banter and some of us rant and it gets a little messy in here...but it all works out in the end, so not to worry!

The blood from the banter washes off oh so nicely, barely leaving a trace with the luminol... and do try to get moderated at least once in your Lifetime just for the sheer joy of reprimand and that feeling of being a teen once again!

Hello, I also have just joined this site and am scared also. My accident happened 7/5/10 and was released from Touro Rehab on 10/8/10. So many ups and downs, steps forward to steps backward.... I have never really been a online group type but I need to remind myself, I am not alone and I do need people that really understand what I am going through. I have so many questions but I don't even know what they are??? If that makes any sense at all.
