everybody that sustains a spinal injury contemplates suicide in their mind at some point, especially in the beginning. the hospital is supposed to bring in people that have made a life despite an injury, counsel you, possible meds. I cant believe the staff and family allowed this so soon. just sick, they would do more for a pit bull...........Thank god we all don't have a self destruct button huh. lol ron
