Welcome to the group Whitney!
I am sorry, I don't think people saw this posting, I will link it over to the general board as well. Maybe we should make a habit of linking the bio's over there, as this is a common thing.
I am so sorry you were in that terrible accident, and were so badly hurt. It sounds like you were lucky to come out of it alive, although you may sometimes wonder if you really were lucky. However, I am glad you did find us here, it is good to have a place to talk about our pains and health issues. Most young people your age don't sit around discusssing their PT or new meds, or their sleeepless nights, but we do! Please feel free to jump into an exisitng thread or to begin your own. We have a trivia thread going that helps pass a few minutes, we'd love you to join in that too.
