Hey Susan,   I'm Smurf (real name Sarah) and I'm 21 from the UK.  I became a para 3.5years ago after a road accident.    Well done for plucking the courage up to email here, it's a fantastic place to be for both a listening ear and to have a joke and a laugh!  I really hope both yourself and your dad finds the support here that your looking for   Love Smurf xxx   In a message dated 20/10/2005 02:31:29 GMT Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hi All, I've been working up the courage to post... My Dad is a C3-4 survivor since Oct 5th, 2004.  I've been trying to encourage him to seek support.  And since his recovery was not in a place with other SCI patients; he has no idea what anyone else has been through.  He's feeling very alone. Do any of you have any ideas what I can possibly do to encourage him to reach out? He was a very private person to begin with and I don't think he can understand that other people going through similar conditions can help.... Any info you can offer is deeply appreciated... Sincerely, Susan Ulrich
