REAL LIVES, REAL STORIES

SIA Member, Sally Jones

On New Year’s Day in 2020, I sustained a spinal cord injury in a horrific
motorcycle accident. I was left in a coma and extremely lucky to be alive. When
I woke up, I was told the extent of my injuries and that I would never walk
again.

During my rehabilitation, I met one of SIA’s support network manager’s, Gary. He
had also sustained a spinal cord injury in a motorcycle accident, and it was so
helpful to talk to someone who could relate to what I was going through and
offer advice, based on his lived experience.

To try and address my pressure ulcer issue, I contacted SIA to ask for support
from their SCI clinical specialist team. I was put in touch with Damian. He was
so knowledgeable. He talked me through the different steps I could take to
reduce the risk of pressure ulcers and together we drafted an Emergency Care
Plan.

The support of people like Gary and Damian has enabled me to adjust to all the
changes of life after injury. With their support, I get to do more of the things
that I love, like spending time with my family, and getting to be me again.”
