SPINAL CORD INJURY: WELL-ADJUSTED FAMILY MEMBER

How will you know when you have adjusted to being the relative of someone with a spinal cord injury? When can you say that you've balanced your life in a healthy way? For family members, as for the person with the injury, adjustment is an ongoing process. If you are married to or live with and perhaps care for a person with spinal cord injury, you'll be continually adapting and adjusting as you pass through various stages of life, face new challenges, and cope with additional health problems and limitations that come with aging.
Some family members find it helpful to make contingency plans in anticipation of future needs. When Bailey and his wife built their new home, they included ramps for access to the first and lower levels and a separate bedroom for Bailey's sister, Joan, who uses a power wheelchair. Though Bailey thinks Joan's living with them is "an off-the-wall scenario" given her dogged independence, his wife wanted to be prepared. If Joan needs more help from them in the future, the transition will be much easier for Bailey and his wife because they have anticipated and prepared for the possibility.
On the other hand, you and your adult loved one must resume an adult-to-adult relationship and move beyond the confining roles of "caregiver" and "patient." One clue that your family is getting back со normal is when your perception of your family member with spinal cord injury shifts and you begin to see him as plain old Joe rather than "poor Joe, the paraplegic," or "disabled Joe." Although initially you may have treated him as ill or fragile, you'll eventually be willing to argue with him and tease him, or ask him for help, just as you did before his injury. Like Bailey, you'll find that the spinal cord injury becomes "transparent." You will probably start to feel more like yourself, too, as you begin to focus more on your own life again and less on your loved one's needs. Your relationship can once again be freer and more equal, with give and take on both sides.
As you adjust to your new family circumstances, you'll be able to pick up the pieces of your life, turning to things that may have been put on hold while you were attending primarily to the needs of your family member. You should once again be able to function at work, in school, in social relationships, and in other important areas as effectively as you once did. Of course, you may have some modifications in your schedule or level of involvement with certain activities, especially if you've taken on a caregiver role. But, for your mental health, you must have some respite from this role, times when you participate in social and leisure activities that give you a "lift" and restore your energies.
Whatever role or lifestyle you choose, feel free to pursue some of your goals and dreams and attend to your own personal development. If you find your life holds little meaning or interest beyond caring for or worrying about your injured loved one, consider getting some professional counseling. Remember, the person with spinal cord injury is not helped by having a family member "in her clutches." This can only lead to prolonged dependence, encourage manipulative behavior, and hinder the development of her own coping strategies, psychological well-being, and recovery of function.
