Update 24 November 2005

In case you missed the news, a new area has been created for wives, husbands and carers to talk to each other about caring for a disabled person or family member.

The area is intended to be used to share advice, emotional support or just a good old rant between carers!

Simon.

What a great idea!

I do not have SCI, nor does my family, although I do have friends with them. I think this idea is brilliant. My Father has alzheimers disease brought on by a combination of old age and vascular degeneration due to suffering 2 subdural bleeds in 1993. How I wish someone had had a message board for us then. Instead, my Mum, Brother and I cared for him before having to make the decision to put him in for professional care. Just to talk to others who have been there and worn the T-shirt would have been great.

So, to all you SCI carers out there - make use of your board because it helps to talk.

Good idea.

I hope my partner Andrew will pop in and make use of this, as i often feel that he does not have anyone who would fully understand what it's like to look after me. Especially as he is now having to push me around in the wheelchair.
I often worry about this.. So it's great news.
