Message: <blockquote data-quote="LittleGreyCat" data-source="post: 2061470" data-attributes="member: 6467">Again, sympathy for the spinal injury.I do have some awareness because my late Cousin was quadriplegic due to an infection as an adult of the central nervous system and just had limited use of her arms.She more or less lived in an electric wheelchair, and was lifted out of bed in the morning and lifted back in the evening.She was very fortunate in that she could afford a Motability vehicle, and had enough room in the house to drive around in the wheelchair. The van (which she drove with hand controls) was a real lifeline and she also had a trained Assistance Dog which was another big feature in her life.It is making me sad to realise that most people probably don't have this assistance.</blockquote>
