Stupid question here.... but when you say you're c5-c6, is that where
your fractures were? or is that your level of function? For example,
I broke c6-c7, but my level of function is at c7-t1 (I guess that's
where the spinal cord got severed.).
One thing that I think makes a big difference in how someone is able
to transfer, is the length of their arms :S I've seen quads get up
off the floor and back into their chairs by themselves, and have been
just amazed. But, those that I've seen manage to do that, always seem
to have LONG arms. I am able to do all my transfers by myself, except
there is no way I can get off the floor back into my chair if I happen to fall.
