Happy birthday Linda.  I'm sorry I missed it.  I'm glad you had a  nice 
get-together.  Would love to see pictures.  I love  pictures.
 
I tried roserum, and it did nothing for me.  Not much seems to work  
unfortunately, you're lucky you don't have to take every night.  My TV and  
computer 
are my best friend, usually when I read my quad list posts.
What kind of neck warmer do you have?  How strong is vicoden?  I  always get 
cold so I bet I would like a neck warmer.  How does it stay  warm? I am always 
so cold..

Happy birthday!  May you have many more healthy years.

I don't sleep very well either, 4 or 5 hrs is good for me. I take a vicoden  
if I am real painful  put my neck warmer on my neck which is the best pain  
releaver  sleeping aid. I take Roserem 8mg for sleep once in awhile,  but not 
often. I turn my tv on  watch it during the night too, it's my best  friend.

Naomi,
You're so fortunate that it only takes 5 mg of Ambien and you go  to bed 
before your head hits the pillow.  I have the about to lines to take  10 mg and 
trazodone and I still can't get to sleep and rarely get more than four  hours 
with waking up often.  I was hoping someone would have some super  duper drug 
for all of us who suffer with  insomnia.

Dan, actually that is 99-44/100% correct.  Back in 1996 while at the  
Paralympics in Atlanta, I met several quads at the games in the best shape of  
their 
lives.  C5/6 and C7, these quads were flat and hard.  They also  worked the 
Permobil Booth at several exhibitions and signed pictures of  themselves to 
those who attended.  Yes, the flat and hard belly is a rare  event.

You just have to eat a very low-fat diet a good portion of fruits and  
vegetables and minimal portions on rare occasions of something like ice cream 
or  
cake.  I stick with Buffalo, Turkey, fish and not much bread or noodles and  if 
you do eat whole grains.  I like tomatoes soup and my mom makes me  chicken 
noodle or rice mostly with whole grains and 99% fat-free broth.  I  don't need 
much cheese and I always get 2% at the fat free just does not taste  the same.  
I owe patiently by low-fat lean cuisine dinners that are very  easy and low 
in fat and really tasty.  I always eat a salad every night  with low-fat 
dressing with vegetables.  A good snack is microwave weight  control cinnamon 
oatmeal or whole grain cereal with skim milk.  I love  frozen baby spinach.  I 
find 
that really helps as my belly is very minimal  and it has gone down in the 
last couple months when I have been stricter about  what I eat.  My main 
problem 
is my aid for supper coming way too late  at night.  I also drink strawberry 
Slim fast for morning and afternoon  meal.  I really need to get a new person 
with a earlier schedule.  It  seemed like it is possible to mostly lose your 
belly as I have several  lines.  I did not have one when I was injured but that 
was 32 years  ago.
 
I don't know if there's a difference between men and women and this  problem. 
 Men are larger and they want more food possibly.

extremely real possibility of fixing?  

Thank you to all of you who have e-mailed the Senators to vote yes, and have 
written or called or e-mailed everyone you know to persuade them to vote yes, 
and actually want to try to be part of the solution.  Those of you who have, I 
applaud you!  At the moment, only mentally, someday the very real possibility 
of being able to with my hands, under my own control again.

About the quad belly; I used to be a lot larger than I am now.  I don't know 
what the difference is, but I usually don't appear to always have a quad belly. 
 All I can tell you is that it's a lot of discipline, and I admit I give in to 
eating things I probably shouldn't at times, but you have to live!  Good luck 
with battling that.  It's not completely hopeless, I don't think.

I'm southside Irish and I must have missed that posting.
In Chicago last weekend was the annual southside St. Patricks Day  Parade.  
Someone with candor picked an empty parking lot and installed a  dozen Port O 
Pots (portable toilets) and charged $3 a head to use them.   All money went to 
the American Cancer Society.  People were standing in  line all day to use 
those  port a pots.  Not that they were drinking  or anything I think they 
just wanted to make donations to a worthy  cause.  But that's the Irish too.  
Next weekend is the St. Patty's  Parade in downtown Chicago.

Thank you for the good wish. 
You said that Roserem did nothing for you, it is a mild sleeping pill. I think 
the vicoden is 750mg, it is not that strong. I can't believe so many people 
claim it's addicting. Everyone matabolizes medications differently. I ordered 
my neck warmer from a Company in Missouri, I can't get the name of the company

Regarding Texas and pot, you are so right John.  I know people from  the 60's 
still in jail for having a joint.
That's why Bush went to school in another state and so did his  daughters.
 
Being a successful quad (if there is such a term) means that you are always  
planning ahead to survive.
That planning ahead begins 5 minutes before you wake each morning and  
planning and planning.
By the time sleep time comes along, most are so wound up, that sleep is the  
very last thing on your mind. Then you are planning on tomorrow and all you 
have  to do.  It's no wonder that you get any sleep at all.
Sleep is important part of any 24 hour cycle.  If you aren't getting  enough 
at night, a daytime rest should supplement your night rest.  In a  perfect 
world you should get enough sleep in 24 hours.  But who's seen a  perfect world 
lately.

[QUAD-L] Getting Out

2007-03-12 Thread Greg
Out town just had the town's big festival. They have a number of little
things that are often not worth going to, but this is one is fun. It's
called The Ostrich Festival. They do all the fair/festival stuff, rides,
arts/crafts, games, food, etc. But the big thing is the ostrich races. They
race then with jockeys, then with chariots. Plus camel races, etc. They also
sell lots of ostrich stuff, burgers, jerky, etc. I love trying new foods.
The concerts at night were Rick Springfield and an old American Idol guy.
It's cool that it is only 2.5 miles from my house, so I could just hang out
back/forth. They also had the Purina Dog Challenge there. Where the dogs do
Frisbee tricks and an obstacle course. That was fun. Then in the mornings
they had hot air balloon races and nights they did balloon glows. The only
bad thing was the weather, almost record highs, 87 degrees and very little
shade. I love going to things like that.

Okay I have to take this opportunity to share something with you guys that
many others would not understand.  I have gotten burned in the same place
between my wrist and hand about 3 times with my heating pad.  Finally I got
one that turns off automatically after 1 hour.  Last week I woke up and
lifted my head from my heating pad that always sits on my pillow.  My ear
was numb and stuck to my head.  In a moment of half woken paranoia, I
thought my ear had melted to the side of my head.  I couldn't feel it so I
imagined how it must have looked- all skinless and malformed.  Then I woke
up, sensation came back and I was ok.

Dear Linda,
Vicodin is hydrocodone. It is synthetic heroin and it really is addicting. I've 
been taking 5mg's for a few years and I sure can't just stop. Doctor says if I 
have to change I'll need methadone before taking anything else. It is effective 
and stays working for most people for many years. I think you mean 7.5 mgs as 
750 would be a little strong for your average heroin addict.  :D

I went to a Halloween party my 2nd yr of sci, it was in a barn  and they used 
a torpedo heater for heat. I was sitting close to it  and couldn't  feel the 
heat. To make a long story short, I had to get  a skin graft because it was so 
huge and wouldn't heal. When I had surgery they  didn't put me completely  to 
sleep. Just enough  to relax me and keep my legs from spasms. Talked to them 
the whole time even  while they scraped skin off my other leg. It surely is 
amazing what we go  through without feeling it. 
Before that, I spilled a very hot cup of coffee on my belly. I  spent 2 weeks 
in the burn unit over that one. They sent me home still scraping  and 
wrapping the burns.

  You said that Roserem did nothing for you, it is a mild sleeping pill. I 
think the vicoden is 750mg, it is not that strong. I can't believe so many 
people claim it's addicting. Everyone matabolizes medications differently. I 
ordered my neck warmer from a Company in Missouri, I can't get the name of the 
company until I have a CNA here. I was disappointed with the neck warmer 
because it has gel inside. You can buy the same thing at Wal-Mart. It just 
cools down after about 20-30 mins.

  Happy birthday Linda.  I'm sorry I missed it.  I'm glad you had a nice 
get-together.  Would love to see pictures.  I love pictures.
   
  I tried roserum, and it did nothing for me.  Not much seems to work 
unfortunately, you're lucky you don't have to take every night.  My TV and 
computer are my best friend, usually when I read my quad list posts.
  What kind of neck warmer do you have?  How strong is vicoden?  I always get 
cold so I bet I would like a neck warmer.  How does it stay warm? I am always 
so cold..

  Happy birthday!  May you have many more healthy years.
Dana

Re: [QUAD-L] Burns

Yeah I also got burned sitting by a camp fire.  I reached down to touch my
knee and it was mushy from a blister.  Ewww!  It's so gross to feel
something like that...that you can't...feel.  It is startling, to say the
least.  And then the time it takes to heal!

I'm healing up a few burns on my ankle from sitting too close to my space
heater a few weeks ago.   it's amazing how we can cook ourselves without
even knowing it.

 *I went to a Halloween party my 2nd yr of sci, it was in a barn and they
used a torpedo heater for heat. I was sitting close to it and couldn't  feel
the heat. To make a long story short, I had to get a skin graft because it
was so huge and wouldn't heal. When I had surgery they didn't put me
completely  t**o sleep. Just enough to relax me and keep my legs from
spasms. Talked to them the whole time even while they scraped skin off my
other leg. It surely is amazing what we go through without feeling it. *
*Before that, I spilled a very hot cup of coffee on my belly. I spent 2
weeks in the burn unit over that one. They sent me home still scraping and
wrapping the burns.*

Okay I  have to take this opportunity to share something with you guys that 
many  others would not understand.  I have gotten burned in the same place  
between my wrist and hand about 3 times with my heating pad.
I sleep with a heating pad and luckily I haven't burned myself.  if the heat 
is trapped, (like on my neck in bed) I keep it low but for the most  part it's 
on my chest just because I'm cold...it helps me to fall  asleep.
I did burn my finger the same way you did, I was resting my  head on the top 
of the couch and fell asleep...that was another bad  one.
