Hi All!

I am new to this site and I can't tell u how excited I was to find it!! My husband is a c4 quad complete and has been for almost 4 years. We've had to learn many things through trial and error. :lol:

This website is gonna be great for us. We live in a very small town in CA. My husband is only one of two people in this town with this kind of injury that I know of.

Ironically a year after my husbands accident his good friend was in an auto accident and is now a quad as well. His wife and I have tried to support eachother as much as we can but it's always nice to have lots of other input.

Anyway, I look forward to getting advice and support.

Thanks!!!

HI Traci, welcome to this group. There are alot of ideas and help for everyone. I am also from Central Calif. and miss it so much especially the beach. It's so good for you to have a friend that understands this sci stuff. My husband has been quad for almost 2 years now and I haven't found even 1 person in this city that is like him or any support groups here. I am very greatful for this group and you will be too.

Hi Traci,

Welcome, I am a caregiver for my father who is also a C4 quad as of July 2006. There is no one in my area as well with his type of injury. We are currently in Ohio, but getting ready to move back to PA. We are originally from there and Dad wants to go to his home. Good luck and welcome again.

Jen
