Fwd: [QUAD-L] Getting Old, Panic

[Larry Willis]

I may be slinging manure, but under cover your body absorbs its own heat and 
builds up heat like a greenhouse. The sun/air allow the heat to warm the skin 
then dissipate., that discourages overheating. I could be wrong though!

 Greg, I have almost that same problem about once a week. I will
 
 wake up very uncomfortable but I can't tell if I am hot or
 cold. My
 
 hands are always like icicles regardless. And I have the
 shivers,
 
 something my father used to doand he was able-bodied. Our
 body
 
 thermostats are screwed up. I get overheated, think I am cold,
 pile
 
 on more covers and get even hotter. Sucks to the high heavens.
 Hate
 
 it.

[greg]

I found a thing that holds the blankets above your feet in bed. I would need 2, 
instead of one at the botom, I could use 2, 1 on each side to hold the blankets 
above my arms. They were not cheap. Maybe I can find 2 old wire hangers and 
make them. That might help. At this point I'll try anything.

I think I have already shared this, but my hands are like chunks of ice 
beginning at the wrist. Don't know what triggers it, when, or why. I hold them 
in front of a heater and they gradually warm up. More manure on the marvelous 
mountain of quad quackery.

[QUAD-L] Special needs trusts

Could somebody on this list contact me personally regarding special need trusts.

Is there a handbook out there?
A handbook for me, the beneficiary?

I've look on line till my eyes were bulging out of my head.
