I see your point but I must admit that I am from a big family and I could never keep up with all the sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles, cousins etc..... by calling.

This is a very powerful post. You are dealing with some strong emotions right now. I know you say 'can you imagine' but how are you feeling about all those statements now?

So, it might be time to ask her to join you at an event or go out for a bite to eat and chat. Find out if you have common interests beyond initial infatuation. Take a chance and see if she is interested.

It was a beautiful tribute poem. I am not a doctor but I know that it is so early that you do not know what the level of scarring will be and/or permanent damage. He may be able to still do a few, some or many of those things in your poem. Some he may be able to do the same as before and others differently with assistive ...

I would start by asking TIRR if they have something in place. Also TIRR is a Model SCI Center -which means they likely also have a support group for patients. Maybe the support group has some transportation assistance? Another idea is to try your local Center for Independent Living. I belive yours is ...

Hello;
I am sorry that this has been frustrating, overhwleming and sometimes just plain awful to get the things for your mother that she needs. Your mother is a newere injury and I know that there are places on this website that she or you can ask questions and get materials about AD and all the changes that this new chaotic world has thrown

I am sorry to hear that things are taking so long and you are hitting some road blocks. Hang in there, you will get there -just keep being persistent.
I don't know what to say about your family as family dynamics are so unique. Maybe they did not have you go on vacation with them because of the money issue? Or maybe they ...

I have to say that was a good answer by Trish, I can only add that if he is ruled to be competent than it is really up to him --not his mother. As trish said, I would see if he can write his signature or not.

A few ideas.
First this website has a library search function. You can find videos and magazines and check them out (they will mail them to your local library or you) on this subject.
Second, not sure where you are in the process but the ticket to work program by the government will provide you with job supports and I am

In a universal sense of men/husbands --I sometimes think my husband believes that I was his personal assistant. At first I didn't mind making all the arrangements, then over time I got frustrated, finally I learned that nothing was going to change unless I forced the change. Like most people, he got cranky at first about the change

Question Dr. Gottlieb: Can you give advice on how one can nuture oneself when they are past the intitial trauma but still in the environment of people/things that are negative impacts to them. If they do not have the ability to remove themselves from this environment, how do you seperate yourself from the hurt and anger that is ...

Post traumatic growth ----resilience -that is what watching my mom battle her diagnosis for over 20 years has taught me. She never lets it win over her love for life and being there for her children. I have always noticed that I see things a little differently, as a child with a mom who has been slowly robbed of her mobility ...

When I read your post I could feel the loss you were expressing. Sometimes I wish I could find the right words or wave a wand and make it all go away but I can't. You could say that god has kept you with us for a reason. You may not know what that reason is yet but one day it will reveal itself. I hope you will continue
-
What to say? You have already said so much -just by being there, holding their hands, supporting them through this scary moment. They will remember that more than they might ever remember the words.

This is a very unpredictable time -especially because every injury is different. This website has a team of information specialists that can provide some information, resources and general guidance for you and your family. The number is 800-539-7309 and ask for an information specialist. You should try and talk with one of ...

I wish I could give you more of an answer but every injury (whether from surgery or an accident) to the spine is different and can produce different results as far as scarring of the spine and resulting loss of movement/signals.
