Hi, I am Dianna and I am L3-4-5 incomplete, Assisted walker,some WC. All the big words for diagnosis kinda fry my poor brain and I guess that's why I don't know them for my own condition. Thank God for spell check or I couldn't even write this,LOL. I put a lot of the how and whats in "About Me" so won't bother with it here. Just Hi and glad to meet y'all!

Welcome to the forum.. ;-)
By the sounds of things you'll fit right in here.. There is much to be gained from the collective knowledge and experience here too..

Wow that is an amazing story! 
Glad you survived your injuries & hope he's rotting in prison. 
You'll find that many of us who have incomplete injuries have many of the same issues that you do. This place is a WONDERFUL PLACE!

Welcome. I am south east of you in Georgia. It looks like you have really taken a beating and hard work to recover as much as you have.
Good luck.

Thank you Everyone! We all have are stories. Weather it was an accident or disease. I was pleased to find this forum mostly up beat and caring and informative. It's funny, I had seen adaptive sports or equipment listed places. Until about 2 years ago I thought it was do with all the crazy things the young people do, like X Games type stuff, LOL. So again, hello evryone and glad to be here!
