Most states have a state equipment bank of communication devices that are  
available for loan for 30, 60 and 90 days.  Most are supported by the March  
of Dimes and may go by  Assistive Technology Group.  Its FREE for the  
asking.

AT has an advisory member that is a Quad.  Ask your provider for  help.  
Its FREE and you never know. I might be available locally or you may  have 
to call their 800 number.

A Bluetooth headset to connect to the phone, because I cannot touch any buttons 
unless I can reach them with my shoulders or head.  :-) so I can do many things 
hands free.  So very cool.
