The Navigator Experience
Resuming life after a spinal cord injury isn't easy and every person is different. Questions arise around activities of daily life such as nutrition, sports competition, sexual function, transportation, or bowel and bladder management. Knowledgeable help is invaluable.
ABC Medical's Navigator program is designed to offer individualized support for a person’s road back from spinal cord injury. This individualized assistance is provided through trained 'Navigators', as well as Peer Support Team members with spinal cord injuries who, from their own lived experience, can offer practical help and inspiring stories that foster genuine hope.
What are some of your favorite activities? I enjoy wake surfing, snow skiing, flying, cooking, and spending time with family.
One piece of advice you’ll never forget: Success in life is understanding that it isn’t about you; it’s about others.
What are some of your favorite activities? I love almost anything outdoors, including my favorite sport, sit-skiing. I enjoy cooking with great music, but most of all I enjoy spending time with my family.
One piece of advice you’ll never forget: The best piece of advice I was given after my injury was to not take myself too seriously, allow myself to grieve the change, and to literally take one day at a time while still moving forward until you find your new rhythm in life.
