Re: [QUAD-L] the bag vs. the valve

2007-12-06 Thread Danny Hearn
I've never tried a valve , would it go at the end of tube then need drained 
every so often?  I have always used the large size bed-bag and drain it every 
morning and each night at bedtime. I hang the bag on the  side of my chair, 
with the urine showing side turned in towards me and I keep a black leather 
pouch type carrier hanging over it that helps cover it pretty much-- in that I 
store my I.D. cards money and so on, Also that leather carrier helps to hold 
the bag on and in place while driving around and reclining . A friend showed me 
A  cover some people use to store the urine bag in, if a person is bothered by 
it---some even have cloth matching covers for the urine tube  going to the 
catheter bag.   Dan H.

Sorry everybody, I didn't notice I did the website wrong until after I sent it. 
 Below you will find the correct website address.
   
  Hey everybody-
   
  Whether you are disabled or able-bodied, this applies to everyone. These guys 
are great! I've been working with them for several years with Dragon Dictate, 
Dragon NaturallySpeaking version 9, and my environmental control unit. 
   
  Jon and Tim know what they're doing, and are VERY helpful. I'm so happy that 
they decided to open a business of their own specializing in voice recognition. 
They have always helped me out, and still do, whenever 
  I have an issue. They helped me with my last one.
   
  They are very polite, respectful, knowledgeable, patient, helpful, and are 
determined to work with you and whatever voice recognition needs or issues you 
have. Including purchasing, installing, training, and customer service. 
   
  From my own experience with them, if there's something going on and you have 
no idea why, they'll do everything they can to figure it out and fix it. They 
understand how people like us need voice-recognition, and needed to be working 
especially. 
   
  I've worked with different guys who specialize in voice recognition, and none 
of them were as good or as genuine as Jon and Tim are. They really want your 
voice recognition things to work properly.
  Next time you need to take your voice recognition business somewhere, I 
highly, highly, highly recommend taking it to them. Whether you are disabled or 
not, you won't regret it!

2007-12-06 Thread Quadius
Believe me, it hasn't been easy.  Up until around four years ago I was one
of those individuals who loved things so hot that my nose would run when I
ate it.  However, a flareup of rosacea ended that, but I still liked to
enjoy a little bit of hot red pepper on my pizza and other things every now
and then.  Now that I have developed an allergy, to something I used to use
all the time, it is extraordinarily difficult.

I mean most chicken rubs have crushed red pepper in them.  I have grown
increasingly intolerant over the last year.  I ate too spicy chicken
sandwiches from McDonald's and had an enormous allergic reaction.  My doctor
has me carrying around an epi pen and Benadryl.  Life is getting more
complicated.

PS I used that saying, life is like a toilet roll, a couple of weeks ago and
people thought it was hilarious.  I at first gotten it from a blog, but I

They have caps that can close off the cath.

I do it when I need to get a urine sample. Plus the doc said it's good to
let your bladder fill up now and then to keep it stretched out.

It's just a cone shaped plug.

Does anyone use a valve at the end of their indwelling/supra catheter as
opposed to a catheter bag?

Hey Derrick,
If I have problems I just eat 4 prunes the night before along with 4 Senna tabs 
 1 pkg of Kristalose. My bp is Mon, Wed  Fri.

Re: [QUAD-L] the bag vs. the valve

2007-12-06 Thread LTeasley
hey Q,
I have a bag that looks similar for mine as well (although mine is beaded, 
fringy, and purple silk for what I wear skirts).  However, I would love to have 
one made like that, for use with pants or slacks.  Do you put the tube over 
your waistbands and if so how do you hide it?  That's my biggest issue, even 
when I wear skirts,  is that when I've put it in a bag, I can't hide the tube.

Does anyone know where I can view some actual pictures of what the supra tube 
site should look like post surgery?

[QUAD-L] bowell program components

2007-12-06 Thread RONALD L PRACHT
Well..
  I do my bowell routine every other morning. I use majic bullets , sometimes 2 
if its goin  slow. The night b4 a routine I start by taking a lil bisacodyl 
pill, a couple majic cleanse capsules. Then I try to drink a beer, eat a 
yougurt and eat a small bowell of raisan bran sometimes with prunes. I drink 
alot of water and fluids during the day and eat plain cherios most mornings. 
   
  I do a couple hours of excercise at least 3 times a week maybe more if 
weather allows. 
   
  I think many folks have trouble because they dont do enough digital 
stimulationif your not going in 20 mins you may need stimulation to 
break it loose. Also sit on the bowell chair long enough. 
   
  Another thing you have to consider is you dont want your stool to 
loose..or too hard. Thats a struggle every quad goes through. I always 
thought that with all the smart people out there we could come up with a better 
method of evacuating bowells for paralyzed individuals. I thought one time hell 
it would be nice to have some kind of a valve or sureproof way to avoid 
accidents. Maybe an electronic implant to at least tell you how full you are or 
even better some sort of stimulation electrodes to get things going. 
   
  Ive heard of some sort of flushing system you can do.I think Dave 
does something like that.
   
  Too me Im tired of hearing about b.s. about stem cell and all that..I 
want to hear about better methods to live with the injury. 
   
  Every person in a chair needs to get out intheir city or town and become 
seen. This will force society to see us as real people with lives. In turn more 
cures, drugs and methods will happen.
