Coping with a spinal cord injury is
very challenging.
You may feel physically and emotionally
exhausted. You may find it hard to remember
all of the information being given to you, and
you may find it difficult to acquire new skills as
quickly as you would like.
Here are some helpful tips from people who
have been through similar situations with spinal
cord injury:
• Ask questions! Write down your questions,
and write down the answers also. Have a
friend or family member help you keep track
of the answers by writing notes in this booklet
• Be patient with yourself and with those
around you. It will take time for you to feel
comfortable and adjusted to the changes
created by your injury
• Set small goals each day. Celebrate reaching
those goals
1
• Find someone you can truly connect with;
someone who can support you emotionally.
This might be a nurse or doctor, a friend
or family member, or a member of a
support group
• Be proactive. Ask for what you need
and learn about the ways you can adapt
to your injury
