Welcome!

[marmalady]

Hello, and welcome to our newest forum - a family style 'smorgasbord' for all family members, as well as friends and significant others, to come, meet and greet, and discuss problems and solutions, and just to chat!

As 'veterans, we've all learned that sometimes being the family member of a loved one who has SCI can be a lonely place. We hope that here you will find others in your peer group - whether they be young folks, oldies but goodies, or in-betweeners!

Please feel free to introduce yourself, and start the discussions!

Thank you, Joy - I just try to give back a little of what I've been given in terms of support, love and knowledge. If you look here (http://carecure.org/forum/showthread.php?t=13337) , you'll see the intros for Emi and one of the nurses.

No, as far as I know none of the other SCI-Nurses has an immediately family member with a spinal cord injury or disease, but we all have worked in and are dedicated to this field and have many years of experience.
