Re: [QUAD-L] Oxygen

[Danny Hearn]

I kinda get that way Greg, when i do, I use a pro-aire inhailer, it seems to 
help, I really need it in winter months and in summer if it is hot or I get 
overheated. Dan H**

I'm a C/5 and often feel like I'm not getting enough air, like I can't breath

My oxygen count is high enough, around 94 or higher.

yes, i got the veralite icon (air) back. it's high and only about 2 inches from 
my lower back to my butt. it looks like an office chair. if it didn't work, i 
was going to ask for the jay 3.  my cushion is a veralite too. i like the 
backmy butt doesn't stick out either. that was not cool.

i've been researching new cushions & backs.  
 The Evolution got 4.3 out of 5 stars and 91% recommend it. But I like the 
Meridian due to better pressure map and dual chamber to keep you from sliding 
out & sit on tail bone.  
 I drive my own van and need good balance. I never had air cushion before. I am 
wondering if the Wave design would help stability?  
 Did you try the Evolution Wave?   
http://www.varilite.com/products_detail.aspx?prodID=3  
 Did you try Meridian? likes,dislikes?  
   
 I was going to request the Meridian Wave from dealer to check out .  
   
 Here is my list iof cushions:  
   Cushion that I have been reviewing  
 Comfort Company-Vector X...what difference between Vector X & Adjuster X  
 Comfort Company Adjuster X..more options than regular Adjuster??  
 Varilite- Meridian.maybe Meridian Wave if better stability  
 Jay-Fusion  
 Jay2 Deep Contour  
 Roho-Hybird Elite  
 Ride Design Java  
   
 You try any of these?  
 You get Icon back? tall,med.low?

Hello ladies. I need some sexual advice. I just recently started my 1st 
relationship after 9 years of being injured. We've been together about 7 months 
but we haven't had actual sex. Our main concern is the catheter, I've seen 
information that says you cannot have sex with a foley and other that says you 
can. I have had issues before when the catheter has come out (without even 
doing anything), so I wonder if that could happen during sex? Any advice you 
can give me wold be greatly appreciated.
 


 Thanks in advance.

Re: [QUAD-L] For the ladies (Sex with a foley catheter)

[diannal767]

yeah, i was 33 with 2 preteens. mine asked me if i wanted to consider a 
hysterectomy. with my husband having a vasectomyi told him no. i later had 
a an ablation. what a blessing that was. something some young females might 
want to consider if you don't want children. no more periods!!! excuse my 
mis-spellings. i wouldn't blow up the baloon though any further...just my 
opinion. mine never fell out.

You could put a little more in water in the ballon to make the cath more Secure 
and tape the cath to your thigh if you'd like for even more security. Depends 
on how active you plan on getting. 
 
THE MOST Important thing to do is ... TO HAVE FUN AND LAUGH A LOT!!! 
 
FYI ~ I had a small bowl movement one time. 
 
  
 
 
When I asked my Physiatrist, when I was first injured at 17 and a Virgin, "Can 
I still have sex?" His answer, back in 1973,was "Yes, but you might get 
pregnant or had a bowel movement." As he ran away. I yelled back to him "What 
if I don't want either?" He never answered me. 
 
  
 
 
Just have fun and laugh at whatever happens.

i'm 25 years post and have been married almost 40 years. we've never 
experienced a foley coming out. (being that your a quad, i'm going to assume 
he'll be some what gentle) at any rate my husband changes my foley every 2 
weeks. it can be taught. it's not difficult. it shouldn't happen. enjoy!
