Gang O' Gimps,

I finally have my my own little network at home.  My desktop upstairs, 
my mother's desktop downstairs, and my mother's laptop.  Anyway, mother 
isn't the most computer literate person in the world so it would be much 
easier for me to be able to control her computer than to try to explain

that?  Thanks

that sweet dog just pulled me out of my chair trying too get the ducks. i 
caught myself at first but i had the leashwrapped around my hand and she 
finished the job she started. to make things worst it started to 
rain. luckily there was a man across the lake that helped me back in my 
chair. this is the second time she's done it and i guess ididn't 
learn my lesson the first time.icouldn't punish her because by 
the time i was back where i could, she had already forgotten what she did.

It was torn in 3 places and I have what to me appear to be spinal cysts, but have a name I can not pronounce or spell. (syringomelelea) I know I misspelled it. 
When I was younger, I thought I could keep up with these two bit bean counters. I have never seen a time when the cut backs and the rumored cut backs are so mean spirited and the intent was so cloudy. 
They claim that medicaid costs are ratcheting up exponentially. Then they give tax break of $7000 to everyone that earns over$200,000. I am told the states won't cover drug costs next year and that was the part that this state claimed was going up exponentially.

Just my opinion, but automatic page turners are a waste of time. There is always the option of the e-book or if you want to read a book with a bookstand, you can try to find someone that will build you a bookstand. Utilizing a mousestick is also much faster and easier than page turners. However, this is purely my biased opinion.

 Hi Everybody,
 OK, I'm so much better now. Boy wasI low. On that afternoon after i "vented" to you all I looked at some "homework" that was left me at my door from my writing group. The exercise - write at least one haiku. I wrote a dozen immediately. 
 Examples:
  hot tears   winding road ahead
  where's my rock?  kicking stones
  longing  best friends

  turkey dinnerleaves fall
  two sit alonefirst blizzard
  empty nesttop button missing

 So, I kept writing and thenI started talking to Pete, my dear sweet husband. I came to the conclusion that I'm getting motion sickness from this defective chair. When I stop I still feel like I'm moving - forward, back, forward, back, forward, back. 
 I am going to order a brand new chair with mypower wheelchair vender who also is a certified seating specialist. I'm still overwhelmed with the choices. But I'm definitely getting a tilt.Probably an Invacare Storm Series.

 installed for you as long as it's within reason. Would you settle with a
 42 inch BIG screen TV with cable that has 43 channels? Got a stereo

Dear Community Service Advocates:

The new (2nd Quarter 2005) Q1a data from CMS is available.Google: MDS
ACTIVE RESIDENT INFORMATION REPORT

INTERESTING NUMBERS

20.6% of those in nursing homes expressed an interest to move to the
community.

This is 287,837 people who have expressed an interest in leaving the nursing
facility and moving into the community!!!
You can get total information about your state and by county in your state.

In addition to the Q1a information there is a lot of other information
available.

According to the CMS data:

302,017 are diagnosed with Stroke
 16,779 are diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis
 12,584 are diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy
 12,385 are diagnosed with Traumatic Brain Injury
 11,186 are classified as having Quadriplegia
  9,788 are classified as having Paraplegia

This information is useful  as you advocate for your state to implement a
State Money Follows the Person (SMFP) policy.
Your state can focus on the people who have answered YES on the Q1a as a
group that could, with assistance,
transition from the nursing home to  the community.

 Hi Everybody,
 OK, I'm so much better now. Boy wasI low. On that afternoon after i "vented" to you all I looked at some "homework" that was left me at my door from my writing group. The exercise - write at least one haiku. I wrote a dozen immediately. 
 Examples:
  hot tears   winding road ahead
  where's my rock?  kicking stones
  longing  best friends

  turkey dinnerleaves fall
  two sit alonefirst blizzard
  empty nesttop button missing

 So, I kept writing and thenI started talking to Pete, my dear sweet husband. I came to the conclusion that I'm getting motion sickness from this defective chair. When I stop I still feel like I'm moving - forward, back, forward, back, forward, back. 
 I am going to order a brand new chair with mypower wheelchair vender who also is a certified seating specialist. I'm still overwhelmed with the choices. But I'm definitely getting a tilt.Probably an Invacare Storm Series.

I think this is true.  I was fighting my waisteline before my accident.  I 
lost a bunch of weight after my accident and even more living at my mother's 
ecause of stress.  When I moved out and into this apartment, I probably lost 
more.  I got down to 115 lbs.  I have a pic of me at that weight and I had a 
very small quad belly.  I cannot even get into a beautiful silk shirt my 
roommate from China gave to me.  I used to wear it without any problem, I 
have not even 'tried' it on in years!  I weigh   ,oh, about 30 pounds more 
and know I could not get into it now!  I was doing pretty good untilk my 
mother introduced me to a wonderful Belgium chocolate made for Aldi's.  It 
is a huge bar about 12 inches long and costs less than $2!!  It was too good 
to be true, but it was!  I can tell a difference in my quad belly that it 
may have grown some.  I always weigh when I go to the doc every month.  So 
next week, I will know,  ugh.   take care,

quite a bit at school and I diet.  I'm not small person with a large bone

my belly is hard to get rid of. I have seen many people in chairs that are 
thin but I think they are small people in general.  I also think that if you 
don't have a belly to begin with then your chances are better but once you

[QUAD-L] stem cells, ethics, and greed

2005-08-09 Thread DeLiMiTeD4



I have been reading a lot about the stem cell arguments. I have tried to 
stay open minded and not jump to conclusions. 
I was checking up some back grounds on positions regarding Embryonic Stem 
Cell research and ran into some interesting facts. Tommy Thompson helped to 
design the presidents policy on ES cells. He is a former governor of Wisconsin. 
University of Wisconson was the place where ES cell lines were first established 
in 1998. They were the first to patent the lines and processes to establish 
those lines. Tommy Thompson is a little more than an alumni of UW. 
The way the presidents policy works is by requiring other labs to use 
existing stem cell lines which the University of Wisconsin has a near monopoly 
on. 
The ethical argument against ES cell research has nothing to do with 
anyone's beliefs. It is just greed. The government is using the religious right 
like a cheap hand puppet. This is about protecting UW 's patent. 
The ethical question that the country is faced with is how do we get rid of 
such immoral and unethical people as this administration. 
We are being milked like some stupid cow. Our money is going into the 
pockets of every friend GWB has ever had. He is killing American soldiers. He 
has elderly people going to Canada to get affordable meds. We are sending money 
overseas for oil faster than we can earn it.
I AM SAD!

By the way, there are no uncontaminated ES cell lines. Total federal 
spending on ES cell research to date, just under 10 million dollars. 
The energy bill passed by congress has a provision to build a 250 million 
dollar bridge to an island where fewer than 50 people live. 
The words "ethics, morality, and Washington DC" should never occur in the 
same sentence.

 Well Amye, if you are caught showing your booty, most anything can be
 installed for you as long as it's within reason. Would you settle with a
 42 inch BIG screen TV with cable that has 43 channels? Got a stereo
 that puts out 235 watts but, no surround sound. No satin on the walls
 of the cell, satin makes me sneeze LOL Have a Cell Phone, is
 that good enough?

2005-08-09 Thread Chet Smith

 I've done some research on power wheelchairs and concluded that
my next chair will be from Invocare and get into the Storm Series of
their chairs. I've heard from my Vendor here in California anyway's
that they have a good report for holding up to everyday going places
and also may just have the accessaries for a Quadriplegic may need.
Try their website : http://www.invocare.com and see if there is a chair
for you their. I'm sure they have a 1-800 to call and Amye has a good
thing for you to do too. Get a prescription from the Doctor and also
let him know that the chair your in is very uncomfortable for you to
sit in all the time you spend mobile.

 High Greg,
 Glad you made it through your ordeal of how you got hurt and
still here to enjoy whatever Life might else will throw at you.
I am a C-6 C-7 Quadriplegic from a car accident that I caused
on my own and thankful I didn't hurt anyone else. I guess that's
how I deal with it so easy after the first 2 years that is. I don't
need tears in my keyboard or in my eyes trying to write you.
Not sure what to say the first time out but, these words that mean
a lot to me, "we both are here still to raise a little h-e- double L
and enjoy each day to its fulless".
