	Spinal Cord Injury - Paraplegic & Quadriplegic, Tetraplegic Information
		Someone with a spinal cord injury will have a long road of rehabilitation ahead of them initially at a Spinal Injury Center or Spinal Injury Unit, and it is important that they keep their sense of humor on their bad days to help them maintain a positive attitude.
		Both Paraplegics and Quadriplegics should have some kind of rehabilitation before they are discharged from hospital, to help them get used to life in a wheelchair, and to help teach techniques which make everyday life easier.
