Internet sites:

  • NSCIA
    This is the ultimate site with peer support forum.
  • Apparelyzed.com  
    This is a great site also containing a peer support forum.
  • Wheelingangels.com
    Wheeling Angels is a group made up of volunteers paired with children who have spinal cord injuries.

Physical Locations:

  • St. Luke's Rehabilitation Institute
    Here is where I was given the confidence and training needed to become fully independent.
  • The Shepherd Center
    Shepherd Center is one of the nation's leading rehabilitation hospitals. They specialize in the treatment of people with spinal cord injuries, acquired brain injuries, multiple sclerosis and other neurological conditions.

Products:

  • MedLift
    Here is a link to the manufacturer of my recliner chair that I use every day.
  • Select Comfort
    Here is a link to the best bed for SCI.  The sleep number bed.  I love it.  I have not had even one bed sore.
  • Tempur-Pedic
    I tried this bed out.  It was pretty cool, but I like the sleep number bed better.  My medical supplier has one and he loves his though.
  • KEEN TAOS SHOES
    Here is a link to find the shoes I wear.  They open really wide to allow for swollen feet and have an elastic draw string so you don't have to tie them.  They also have large loops on the tongue and heel.  I love these shoes and I get compliments on them all the time.
  • Toilet Seat
    Here is a link to where you can find the toilet seat I use.  Be sure to select "Padded Seat" when ordering.  This seat works really well for SCI with rods in their back preventing them from bending and reaching during the bowel program.
