UNDERSTANDING SPINAL CORD INJURY

Warm greetings to you !!

New generation ,new ideas ,new approach to life . WOW ! Great going guys ! Nice to see smart people, in spite of disabilities taking over the world with such elan and making it seem so effortless. I wish all of them everlasting joy and happiness in their life . Really exceptional ,in the case of spinal cord injury persons (SCI) ,as it is in itself a great deal to overcome the pain and agony,coming out victorious ,is like conquering the world.

SPINAL CORD INJURY  is a broken spine , where the damaged vertebrae damage the bundle of nerves , which paralyses a part of you , and as a result ,brings about a major change in your routine activities in  the daily life. Normally , SCI patients go through a great deal of pain and distress after the injury and   do not know how to come out of the emotional turmoil. This phase is the most difficult part of dealing with the injury for the patient , as his or her self confidence takes a beating. We need to understand not only their pain, but also the changes that take place in their bodily functions.

We can bring about a change in their lives in many ways. Firstly, the family needs to support the SCI person unconditionally and most importantly come out of conservative mindset  and look at the situation from a different angle. The SCI person needs to be accepted as he is, and be assured of any kind of help ,to get back to normal life. They need to know that a broken bone does not mean the end of the world. It is only a medical condition, and should not be considered a taboo or a curse. They are the same people, you came across before the injury. HELP them, MOTIVATE them, SUPPORT them and you will witness lot of miracles.
