Re: [QUAD-L] Bowel matters and coughing
Is Gabe a candidate for a neuro implant to control his seizures? I've seen some remarkable success in the last few years with neuro stimulators and the reduction or stoppage of seizures. Best Wishes W In a message dated 11/7/05 7:33:13 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Gabe has been ill so I haven't posted for a while. He had close to 300 seizures in October. Fortunately most of them were mild (still hell for him). After he got the kidney stones out that were causing the AD they put him on an antibiotic. It was the wrong antibiotic and he got a raging UTI. After they got the right antibiotic and increased seizure meds things are calming down and he is starting to recover. God he is strong and deserves great admiration. He is the teacher that we all love. In other words he is a kick ass man.
Re: [QUAD-L] Coughing
Hi Theo, Many times, quads need help or assistance with coughing. Actually the diaphragm needs a short pull to assist in the coughing process. Physical Therapist, are excellent trainers in the process as you need to support the diaphragm and not the rib cage. Thumping on the back is also good for loosening phleme. But you better know what you are doing again, to prevent serious injury. Best Wishes W In a message dated 11/7/05 8:36:01 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I was wondering what you guys do to help you cough, I have a cold which has turned into a nasty cough and as I am unable to cough on my own (I am a C4-5 Quad) I have had 2 sleepless nights so far, with many more to come I am sure. Is there any machine available that can help a quad cough or does anyone have any magic solution to get rid of the cough as quick as possible? Cheers Theo
Re: [QUAD-L] Coughing
When I'm in bed, I try to make myself spasm to help me cough and I also will raise my head up with my hospital bed. When I made my wheelchair, I try to make myself spasm and throw myself forward to put pressure on my abdomen to help me cough. Jim
Re: [QUAD-L] SUPRAPUBIC HELP
Hi, I wear a piece of guaze cut to the center then taped on around the supra-pubic area---how do you wear the drain sponge ? is it the same, just cut and fit it around the tube over the hole? Just curious about the sponge-- wondering if it may be better than taping on guaze pads. Thanks, TA Dan
[QUAD-L] RE: [QUAD] Heat Source
Several weeks earlier I mentioned on this list a bean pillow called Bed Buddies. You microwave them for one minute, and they hold heat up to a half hour. If I'm shivering in my chair or bed we inside a blanket or towel (to keep the heat in longer and to avoid burning my skin) place it around my shoulders, and the shivers immediately vanish. You can buy them at: Walgreens, or online at: https://www.reliefmart.com/ My wife, for our anniversary, bought me a Verano Maxi-Heater for my desk. She found it on the Consumer Watch List. Its small and energy efficient, and costs around $25. There are several settings along with a thermostat that is remarkably effective. After a few adjustments, depending, obviously, on the temperature of the room or how cold you feel at the moment, it will turn on and off, blowing a natural, scentless, comfortable heat. It's not one of those dangerous space-heaters that glow. She bought it at Wal-Mart. Peter 25yrs
RE: [QUAD-L] Coughing
Thanks to everyone who replied all your advice was much appreciated. A lot of the stuff discussed I already knew but I did learn a few new things, I also found out that the CoughAssist In-Exsufflator is available here in Greece but I am going to have to wait to win the lottery first because it costs 6500 Euros!!!

[QUAD-L] Sun
This is the time in AZ I have to be careful out in the sun. All summer I didn't just sit in the sun and read, I stayed in the shade. But now that it's cooling off, I sit for hours in the sun. It feel so good on my shoulders. Being from Seattle, I feel like I'm missing my chance if I go inside. So my neck and nose are bright red. Once the sun goes down it gets cold, so I try and get as warm as I can... It gets freezing once the sun goes down, As low as 64.. brr Greg
Re: [QUAD-L] RE: [QUAD] Heat Source
I was at the local fair and someone was selling these heat gell pads, like the kind you microwave and they stay hot for an hour. Except these you did not microwave. You squeezed this hard button thing inside it. It then gets hot (130d) for 90 minues or so. What's cool is you can get it hot when you want. So if you areout and get cold, you squeeze and it's hot. Then you can reuse it. Boil it and it's ready to use when you need it. I'm buying a few to keep in my backpack. http://www.reheater.com/products.html Greg - Original Message - Several weeks earlier I mentioned on this list a bean pillow called Bed Buddies.

Re: [QUAD-L] Dragon?
I have used the basic dragon and I have used a professional dragon (version seven).

The training is a little bit more intense but pretty easy and straightforward. Writing Web addresses and e-mail addresses are a lot easier also.

I see no need to upgrade every year. Every two to three versions have worked very well for me. - Original Message - From: Lori Michaelson To: Quad Sent: Tuesday, November 08, 2005 3:41 PM Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] Dragon? You might want to try asking Dragon that question directly. By email or phone. I'm starting to use Dragon ASAP. I've had it for 8 yrs, updating each version, but never use it. I have version 8 already (Professional ... the others are add-ons) to go.

There looks to be differernt versions of Dragon Naturally Speaking 8, Professional, Medical, Legal. It implies the Professional is better for the disabled? If so, why? Greg
