When you think about first milestones in your life what do you think about?
First day of school?
First kiss?
First boyfriend or girlfriend?

....What about the first time you realised your injury is permanent? Or the first time you fell out of your wheelchair?

It's not often we get to talk about what it's like to experience, or sometimes re-experience, things for the first time following a spinal cord injury.

Chloe and Jacob talk with Susan talk about the confronting realisation of acquiring a spinal cord injury and the path of first time experiences that have shaped the way they see their disability now.
