Not for the Ambulatory. October 15, 2009
Boilermate (Upstate NY)
One reviewer said, "This is a 'must have' book for people with any connection to Spinal Cord Injury (SCI)."

Another said, "No joke - if you are living with a spinal cord injury or if you are newly injured, you need to own this book."

Well...sort of. The author of the book clearly meant it for wheelchair-bound persons and all the previous reviewers must have assumed anyone with SCI is. If you are, this book is a great resource. If you have SCI but are still able to walk, dress yourself, etc., albeit with difficulty, as I am, you will find it less useful. There is no information on walking aids, exercise equipment, etc. for those with limited ability to walk or use their arms.

I would also have liked to have tabs for all the chapters not just a couple.

My other gripe...after paying [...] for this book I am annoyed at all the advertisements thru out the book.

The day will probably come when I will need wheels to get around, and will find the book more useful. In the interim, it will spend most of the time on the shelf.

5 out of 5 stars

Important (and fun) information. Should be required reading! July 23, 2009
Bob V (Loomis, CA)
This is a "must have" book for people with any connection to Spinal Cord Injury (SCI). The list of people that will benefit from and enjoy this book is endless. After 24 years as a T10 paraplegic I still return to Spinal Network for information, be it medical info, resources, or reading and re-reading some of the profiles when I need to get "re-stoked". It addresses all of my SCI related questions and then some. Should be on the reference shelf of every journalist and writer as well!

Must have July 23, 2009

No joke - if you are living with a spinal cord injury or if you are newly injured, you need to own this book. From getting groceries to medical issues, this book is filled with tips and tricks.

Great!
