I must go to different places than you....almost anywhere I go (Costco, dog shows, music fests) I run across folks in wheelchairs, or walkers, or scooters. I've also had pretty good experiences with the public (ie: they actually talk to me!). That is a change from several years ago, when, pre injury, I was shopping with my sister (who was using a wheelchair due to a broken ankle) and the clerks apparently decided that she couldn't speak for herself. I do get lots of looks from children though....I'll wave at them and say hi, provided the parent hasn't hustled them away.

As a person with a recent sci, (incomplete as well) it's hard to find out where to get answers to the questions you have. Not answers from a doctor or my pt, but answers from others with sci, things like....the tingling in my feet? Do you have that too? Does that mean that more sensation is returning? Or the itching I feel on my shin? I hadn't felt that until recently. I'm hoping a local SCI support group may be able to help answer those questions. And maybe someone here can share too. I know everyone's journey is different, but it still would help to know what others have gone through.
