[QUAD-L] Re: QUAD-L] Help for feet swelling?
I bought some compression stockings and they put big blisters on my feet because I put them on when my foot was swollen. It took about 4 or 5 months for my foot to heal from the blisters. I will never do that again! Just thought I'd throw that out to you guys.

RE: [QUAD-L] Fwd: Is it your Birthday today, Larry?
Happy birthday to Nan and Larry! You both are amazing examples to all of us “younger” quads. I am not sure that I want to last another 20 years, that would make me 95 yrs old, shudder! But what else is there for us to do except listen to those of wisdom, and put 1 foot in front of another (I’ve tried the one wheel in front of another and it doesn’t seem to work) and proceed on with life, hoping that we find happiness each day in some small way or another. Joan HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY birthday!

[QUAD-L] Hands-free Harmonica
Hi everyone, Jeremy Olson here from New Zealand. I am wondering whether you would like to take part in a project to develop a hands-free harmonica instruction course for people with a high level spinal cord injury. You are welcome to use the course and provide your feedback to make it even better. You can find out more about the course on my website at http://www.increasingcontrol.com/new-harping/ Anyway have a think about it, Regards Jeremy.

You don't need a script for good compression stockings. I can't get the strength I need from the pharmacy or Walmart, but My doctor recommended ForYourLegs.com: Support Hose & Compression Stockings | Mediven - Jobst - Sigvaris - Juzo . I buy Sigvaris stockings, but Jobst are good too. ForYourLegs.com: Support Hose & Compression Stock... Jobst, Sigvaris, Mediven, Juzo compression stockings, support hose, socks, stockings.

I don't like to wear them b/c I want to wear sandals and that's just not cool. If they get bad to where my ankles are getting huge, I'll use them. For a good pr, you need a script & $20 a pr. Try a pr from the drug store, much cheaper over the counter but doc's can order different compressions. > > My feet are swelling to a point its hard to get my shoes on.
