There’s no denying it, SCI is mean and merciless. First 90 Days will help slow things down so you and your loved ones can start to process the chaos; this resource will help you make the best possible decisions as you’re dealing with enormous stress.Here are some of the First 90 Days basics:
- Don’t go into this alone. There is a vibrant and caring SCI community in SoCal. If you don’t find these folks, don’t worry, they’ll find you, and they are your most valuable resource.
- Stay active. Be part of something. Get out, play, travel, explore.
- Stay aggressive about staying healthy.
- Learn. Interact. Connect. Information is the coin of this realm.
- Know your rights and be ready to advocate for yourself.
- If your injury was someone else’s fault, get expert legal advice.
Above all, remain hopeful — partly because new therapies are on the horizon, but also because you will survive. It will take time but you will figure this out and we hope our guide can be a valuable resource for you and your loved ones.
