Most people make it through life without major mutilations, but I wasn't so lucky. In the summer of '97 I fell at a construction site and suffered a spinal chord injury at the C5 level, which classifies me as a quadriplegic.
Here is an article written about me for the UW College of Engineering alumni newsletter, which came out in April '99.
I like to go to the New Mobility magazine web site, mainly for its message board.
But for pity's sake, go to CareCure, for its research updates and expert-monitored discussion boards.
