Oh it was bad....i was half asleep sherry at the time..and the room was mostly dark but omg i think i would have screamed if it pulled just that bit more...because it would have been out

I have so many nightmare experiences from that hospital..it was just the most awful time but thankfully, 3 years on..the memory of it fades

Actually he was a male nurse and looked pretty scarey like the tall guy off the Adams family

A spinal cord injury usually begins with a sudden, traumatic blow to the spine that fractures or dislocates vertebrae. The damage begins at the moment of injury when displaced bone fragments, disc material, or ligaments bruise or tear into spinal cord tissue.

A spinal cord injury can effect someone's ability to move in a variety of ways - it depends on the severity of the injury to the spinal cord. You can think of the cord as a 2 lane highway for traffic traveling from the brain to our muscles and back.

Wanted to keep this thread alive.

Check your skin every single day. Use a hand mirror to look at your back side every morning and night and address wounds immediately.

Also do pressure releases as often as possible and add cushioned/padded seats to toilets and commodes as well as shower chairs. Treat your butt like a baby to avoid wounds.

Make sure your clothing is not too tight and that seams are not putting pressure on your skin.
