THE AFTER AND BEYOND SPINAL CORD INJURY
JOURNAL

Part of the mandate of the CSRO and ASRO is to help educate and inform the general public about spinal cord injuries. One of the resources that we are using to do this is the After and Beyond® Spinal Cord Injury Journal.

The After and Beyond® Spinal Cord Injury Journal is a guide to help you sort your way through the early part of your injury. The goal is to make it easier for you to understand what is happening and to voice your concerns, needs and wishes.

The Journal will be your guide through acute care and on to rehabilitation. It will:

• Provide basic information about spinal cord injuries; Explain some of the medical terms you may hear ; Help you gather information about your injury and your care and;
• Serve as a link to the After & Beyond® Spinal Cord Injury Resource Manual.

The Journal serves as a personal record of events and a place to keep together information, such as:

• Questions and answers; Concerns, feelings and experiences; Evidence of progress and;
• Important names and dates, such as people involved in your case, tests, treatments and results and future appointments.

Excerpts from the After and Beyond® Spinal Cord Injury Journal are provided on this Web site. For a complete Journal, please contact our office at 1-800-361-4004 or by e-mail at info@csro.com and we will send you a copy free of charge.
