[QUAD-L] bladder expansion surgery
hi everyone! i'm writing this on behalf of my dad, a c6-7 quad. he's going to get his bladder enlarged on the 20th of march (not sure the official name of the procedure-- but they use the intestine to expand the capacity of the bladder) but was looking to see if any of you have done this and/or if you'd be willing to talk to my dad about it beforehand? thanks! brittany

Re: [QUAD-L] flying to Denver with a baclofen pump
Glen House, so flying is not the issue, but rather the altitude of the pump, once she arrives... and leaves?? Best Wishes In a message dated 3/8/2014 11:07:02 P.M.

I do have one patient that I adjust by about 5-10% when he travels to sea-level. If you had any problems you could feel free to call me for an adjustment. Also, I could likely get someone in Denver to do an adjustment. The reps in Denver are great and could help get you taken care of. Enjoy the trip and don't worry.
