:wacko: Awsom website, found by chance, how good...:helpme:
I'm T12 Para, had a motorbike accident in 91'. I used to work as a carpenter/joiner, after my crash I went to Moscow for rehab for 6 months at the Dikoul Centre, then came back to Britain and stayed in London for 9 months getting physio. Then went to college and did and HND in Building Architecture, then moved to Liverpool and did a degree in Architecture (BArch Hons). I came back to Shetland (tiny Isles in the north sea between the UK/Norway/Faroe Isles) and am now working at the Shetland Islands Council as an Architectural Technologist (phew, bit of a mouthful).
Love this site, just ordered a T-shirt, anywaze Hi everyone...:)

Hello and welcome to the board!

"The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity."

Sorry I'm a bit late with the welcome to everyone!

How did you get on at the Dikoul Centre? I think Richard Thompson set up a similar thing near Gloucester. Are you still doing the regime of exercise?
