Here’s to Your Independence! The goal of rehabilitation is to help you design a lifestyle that will allow you to function as independently as possible within the realm of your ability. This manual has been put together to help you. It covers many things you learn while you are in the hospital. When you get home, the manual will serve as a resource for what you have learned. The information is there to answer any questions that may arise about caring for yourself. This manual does not replace your SCI clinic or physician. If you really get in a jam, call your nearest SCI center. Yes, You Can! ! | [ iii ]
