Hi Shelley,
I concur wholeheartedly with the recommendations to pursue or enhance your education and invest for retirement where possible/practical regardless of your current age. I also highly recommend engaging in life, somehow, someway, with family and friends, through employment and/or volunteerism, anything to keep busy and get a mental break from the daily challenges (chronic pain, bladder and bowel management, skin trouble, etc.) that many of us face as quads. Activity tends to be my best pain reliever. Happy New Year!

Your your input is valued~more than you could ever know. I am only 3 years post injury and the longer I read the more questions I have. At this point the following is most important: For those of you with more living experience as quads, what would be the one thing you would do different or maybe wish you would have done/or not done over the years? Fortunately I quit smoking before my accident and I no longer drink alcohol~ THANK YOU AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!! MANY BLESSINGS! Shelly 3 years post C6-C7 incomplete
