[QUAD-L] B-P

[Greg]

With so much time and energy it takes to do a B-P, I keep thinking about colostomies. From what I've read on-line, it looks like most quads who get it, like it. Do many of you guys/gals have it? It seems the vast majority of my problems are bp or bladder related. It seems now anything on either side of being "regular" causes abdomen pain. And with all my meds now, that is quite often. Though I'm still not quite sure how it works. Let's say I was a little "backed-up" and it was causing pain. * If I had a colostomy, would it still be causing that pain? My thinking is, that empties more often, therefore less pain? * I read 1 place that you still need to once a week do a regular bp program just to clean out the bowels. Is this true? If so, then is it still worth it? It just seems it would help simplify life. That is one issue when trying to get morning help. Either they don't want to do that or don't know how to.   Thanks, Greg
