I browsed through your site and it was nice learning about you. I'm
Stacy. I'm 30 and contracted a rare type of encephalitis that inflamed my
brain and spine leaving me paraplegic. Can you please help me understand
what a paetial quad is? What are your function limitations. I have
heard the term a few times, but never understood it. Welcome to the
list. There is a lot of help and support here.
Stacy

Subject: [QUAD-L] new member and
question
Hi.. My name is Cevi. I am a partial quad.. I am able to
walk. I have syringomyelia and Tethered cord syndrome. I have some
questions about TCS and am looking for my answers. I already know so much
about it... but I have not been able to find out what could happen to me if I
DO NOT get my TCS surgically fixed... like is there a possiblity of my spinal
cord snapping if I fall or anything... I know what can happen if I DO
get the surgery... I just need to find out what could happen if I dont.
My insurance has denied my request to go to a spinal cord hospital and I'm
trying to put my argument together for my appeal letter and I want them to
understand what problems I could face if I dont get this taken care of.
I hope I will be able to find these answers here. I am in so many spinal
cord injury groups and have not had any help with this question..
You can also check out my website that my mom made for me and for other
people to learn from. Horsewmn.faithweb.com
Thank you
Take Care and God Bless
