Index Number: 16301 [This is from the Spinal Injury Conference] TM> My son Matt broke his neck June 4 1991 and is in TM> UMC in Tucson Az C-5-6 injury Sorry to hear about this. How did it happen? How old is your son? TM> Craig is a special hospital for spinal injuries and has been TM> very successful. Willy Shoemaker is there now. I broke my neck at C5-6, 32 years ago at the age of 18 when diving into a shallow lake. Down let it get your son down. I went on to graduate from college, teach school, get married, and travel quite a bit. John and others on here will share their experiences too. I have visited Craig and it is truly a fine rehabilitation center. If any of us can help in any way just yell, because we got a half century of experience, and more, between us. Hang in there. -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!150!140!Joe.Chamberlain Internet: Joe.Chamberlain@f140.n150.z1.fidonet.org
