I think he is really getting a pretty good deal to receive 75 percent of his income before injured. You have to realize he looks like he was a veteran officer when he was injured ..so he was probally bringing in 40 grand or so before injury.75 percent of that isnt bad. I think he should keep his position at the station as volunteer only. This may sound harsh but actually if he was under volunteer status then when he was ill, had a pressure sore or couldnt get an attendant that day it wouldnt be a big deal. As John mentioned which I agree on is we are all going through these same issues, and some of us would love to be able to receive 75 percent of a 40 grand salary to live on.

On Tuesday, everything changed as she watched her son move his limbs and feel her touch when he was partially awakened from a sedated state. Based on our experience, the fact he's moving so well, so early after such a catastrophic injury means he will walk again, said Dr. Barth Green, chairman of the department of neurological surgery at the University of Miami school of medicine. It's totally spectacular, totally unexpected. Emotionally drained yet genuinely upbeat, Dugas let out a big laugh in discussing how difficult the last four days have been. Happy, said Dugas, who joined her son at his bedside at Buffalo's Millard Fillmore Gates Hospital on Monday. I'm extremely happy. I'm grateful. Everett sustained the injury Sunday after ducking his head while tackling the HYPERLINK http://www.nfl.com/teams/denverbroncos/profile?team=DENDenver Broncos' HYPERLINK http://www.nfl.com/players/domenikhixon/profile?id=HIX462619Domenik Hixon during the second-half kickoff of the Bills' season opener. He dropped face-first to the ground after his helmet hit Hixon high on the left shoulder and side of the helmet. It's feasible, but it's not 100 percent predictable at this time ... he could lead a normal life, said Green, who added he has been consulting with doctors in Buffalo since Everett was injured. In a report Tuesday evening, Buffalo's WIVB-TV quoted Bills orthopedic surgeon Dr. Andrew Cappuccino as saying: We may be witnessing a minor miracle. Dugas is certain. We're going to take it slow getting him up on his feet, but we hope to see him walk out of here, she said. He has a strong will and determination. I tell you, he's not going to settle for this. You're all going to see a miracle. I can't help but be jealous! I wish him well and truely hope he realizes how lucky he is and not cop the attitude that hard work will cure all!

RE: [QUAD-L] Tim c3/4
I love seeing fellow SCI indidivudals in school, particularly college it really breaks the barriers for the average person looking in and continues to show our strengths, congratulations on your BA, im a little stubborn and to be honest tried graduate school just to prove to myself I could do it and now its almost over.

As for Tim's accomplishments, I agree they are quite considerable. Mine, getting a B.A. in history, pale in comparison. After going through my final seminar class, I do getting a postgraduate degree in history was not in the cards for me. I am considering doing some sort of journalism or writing classes, but I really don't think I need to be spending too much more time in school. I just need to find a way to make a few more bucks and keep myself busy at the same time.

Hi everyone~ Sure, This is long overdue. I did not think there were any females who belonged to this site! Seemed to be more males (not that there is anything wrong with that!!) Ten months ago while having a seizure I fell (about 3 feet) into my garden. Instantly I was aware of the lack of feeling from my chest down. This will give you an idea of my married life... I was more concerned that my neighbor found my keys and locked up my house before I was loaded onto the ambulance. Long story short, I was flown to Hershey Medical Center. Was there 3 months and was discharged. My husband could not cope with the role reversal. As a result I am now living with my mother and going through a nasty divorce. Regardless I am very focused on what is important right now, therapy and recovery. Would you guys tell me a little about yourself?

Since then I've started going to college--majoring in psychology. What I plan to do is get my Master's in Occupational Therapy. I started a Student Organization along with my fellow college crips. We're called the SWAA--Students With Alternative Abilities. Our main purpose is to increase accessibility on campus. Another thing we want to do is start creating awareness about disabilities. We want to show informative documentaries about disabilities. SCI, Polio, MS, etc. Does anyone have any documentary recommendations? Luke c-5/6 incomplete _ AOL now offers free email to everyone.

[QUAD-L] Doctoral Research
My name is Timothy Cox and I am a SCI survivor. I am currently a Doctoral Candidate completing my dissertation at the California School of Professional Psychology. I am being supervised by Siobhan O'toole Ph.D. My dissertation is directly related to how SCI survivors cope after their injury. My dissertation consist of an online survey through (survey monkey) that is anonymous and the results maintain no identifying information from the individuals that complete it. It takes about 20 min to complete. The de-identified results will be kept secure and used only for the purposes of my research, which will hopefully benefit and/or affect the curriculum for rehabilitation centers and SCI survivors and their families. I am asking for your assistance in completing this survey, The link below provides access to the survey as well as contact information for the participants should they have concerns. http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=438992603332 Timothy Cox, M.A. Doctoral Candidate California School of Professional Psychology
