Maiden-post!

[nat_6152]

Hi all,

I've just signed up...this is my first post...it's still pretty recent for me (we're only talking weeks)...and I am too chicken to talk to anyone face-to-face, so here I am. I never thought it could happen to me (I'm in a wheelchair and paralysed from the mid-chest down) - what kind of person does something like that?! I'm hoping to connect with people on some level, who may understand what the aftermath stuff if like, even if it's only through chat/message boards.

Thanks,

Nat

Hi and welcome to AS. Unfortunately we are only too familiar to the aftermath. Take your time and get comfortable. You will post when you are ready.

Welcome Nat!

Another Aussie Nat here - I have only been here a few days, but I think this will help more than other measures I have taken - I hope you feel that way too!

Hi Nat,

I'm so sorry to hear what you went through. There is no answer to what kind of people do this, at least publicly. I've already started to find some comfort here. Wishing you all the best.

Lots of Love being sent to you from a survivor.
