[This is from the Spinal Injury Conference]

        Well I just noticed this echo on this system.  It looks like most of
you are from back east away from the Rockies and the cold out here.  I'm a
C5-6 Quad, 13 years post injury.  As for the person wanting ideas about what
to teach those newly injured, the most important thing you can try to teach
them is to be creative.  Working around obsticals is the most important
thing you can install in someone.  We may all get there by differant
roughtes, but sooner or later we'll get there.  So how many of the cord
injuries out there whent through Craig here in Denver?  I'm fairly lucky and
haven't realy had any post injury trouble, few presser sores and the odd
stone but no biggie.  I'm a incomplete break as I have limited sensation but
thats about it.  If any one needs help in the computer area give me a yell
as Ive been involved with computers for the last 10+ years.
