Yup ... getting old is no fun. 

As I wrote earlier this summer, ...another year down. The last 6 months have 
been fraught with medical problems ... 3+ weeks in ICU in December. Spiraled 
downhill after putting my dog down. Didn't eat or drink - ended up septic ... 
vent, pic line, feeding tube, pull the plug discussions - the whole 9 yards. 
Don't remember much which I am very thankful for. Another week in the hospital 
in March - my potassium skyrocketed and they called me at 10PM to tell me to go 
to ED. Got that under control. Nurse smashed my knee while in during March, 
nice sore there now. My legs got so thin from being in bed, so now I have 3 
sores on my left leg, one is down to the bone. The Wound Care Clinic is 
beginning to feel like home! Feeling much better now. Hopefully things wi 
Things are not looking better... I now have Osteomyelitis - my left leg where 
the sores are. All are deep and look horrendous. I've done everything the Wound 
Care Clinic has told me to do, but they just keep getting worse. Tomorrow I get 
a PICC line and antibiotics ... the waiting and anticipation is horrible. I'm 
scared because PICC lines never go easy for me. I just want to run away. 

I'm tired of fighting, of being hurt, of being patient. My optimism is nearly a 
thing of the past. I feel like I am hanging on by a thread... 

So far, getting to be an old quad sucks ...

but we haven't had actual sex. Our main concern is the catheter, I've seen

can. I have had issues before when the catheter has come out (without even

Nice things about AZ this time of year. 

At night I often spasm tight and my arms get uncovered. Even though it's hot, 
the AC still blows cold air. So I wake up cold arms, tight muscles. Going 
outside right away feels so nice and relaxing. Like 85 degrees. Pus I can pick 
fresh tangelos or grapefruit for breakfast. Slice lemons or limes in my water. 
But by afternoon, it's getting to 116 this week. A little to hot now. That 
means the AC in the house is on a lot too.

Dan, I think you can relate to this incredible true story ... and few others of 
you as well. 





I was 16, 1 year before my accident, camping in the adirondack mountains, 
(specifically Saranac Lake) it was 1972. 





I woke up in my sleeping bag snuggled warm inside a half wood half canvas cabin 
with no running water or electricity. It was just bearly starting to get light 
out at 5:35am with my sister's and a friend still sleeping near by. 


I pulled my legs out of the flannel bag and put my bare feet on the sandy 
wooden floor to search for my sneakers. As I tip toed to the screen door, I 
took my time to open it as to not wake anybody so I can have this precious time 
to myself. 


It was just light enough that I needn't light the Lantrens to find my way to 
the lake at the bottom of the sandy trail cut through wild blueberries bushes. 


I finally came upon my destination, an old green wooden canoe that had been 
pulled up upon the shore. I got in as quietly as possible and picked up an oar 
without making a sound. 


My father had taught me how to Indian paddle many years ago, a technique that 
was virtually silent. Once the paddle is in the water it never comes out. With 
some clever turns of the oar I had mastered the technique. 


I'm now right where I want to be ... in the middle of the Placid lake with fog 
hanging over the water not yet burned off. I just sat there, then finally I 
start to hear one bird start to waken with a chirp here and there. Then another 
bird returns his call. It's now getting brighter and the fog is starting to 
burn off the calm water. 
I laid back against the back of the canoe and watched my little part of the 
world wake up. 


It was one of the most exhilarating experience I've lived. Many, many times 
when I'm stressed, up set or angry, I can bring myself back to that canoe ride. 


That very same day I put a lack on my back and did a day up up one of my 
favorite Mountain peaks. 


As a matter fact I have a picture of a canoe hanging in front of my bed so I 
can see it's the first thing I see when I wake up. 





I miss water skiing, snow skiing, cross country skiing swimming, sailing, 
swimming, boating, camping, hiking. 





I have more stories if anybody is interested.

my hip. Several yrs later x-ray found my old fractured hip. So I still have 
pain with that R hip.

Subject: [QUAD-L] Scoliosis 


I was diognosis with scoliosis about 15+ years ago. Now it's gotten much worse. 
Mine is in the shape of a C and it is starting to push my hip out. 
On my left hip, if I'm lying down, and put my hand ther and feel around, I can 
feel my hip bone poking out about 1 from my hand! 
It has gotten me so concerned that I'm going to see a orthopedic Sergon after I 
get an MRI of my spine. I have no idea what can be done. 

Anybody have problems with their hips?

[QUAD-L] syrinx

[lindakrn]

I know we've discussed about syrinx before but I have some questions for you. 
I'll tell you whats going on. My oldest grandchild, Samantha was diagnosed 3 
yrs. ago with a syrinx in her spinal canal at the C6 level, she was 12yrs old. 
That first yr she had no problems then last yr she started having double vision 
 blurry vision. The Dr's said she had a pseuodo tumor pressing on her optic 
nerves behind her eyes. They said there was no tumor but her body thought it 
was a tumor caused by the syrinx. Last yr. the Dr's took her to surgery to put 
in a Shunt at the base of her brain which drains down into her abdomen just 
above her bladder. They put a magnetic dial under the skin just below her right 
rib cage. With this dial they can regulate the amount of spinal fluid from the 
shunt. She has a lot of nausea  headaches. Now her double vision cleared up 
but she still has blurry vision. Sam is now 14  has a positive attitude. Then 
Friday morning she woke up feeling tingling  numbness in her legs. Her 
parents, my Son  Daughter In-law took her back to Chicago to her Dr's. They 
admitted her  giving her physical therapy  teaching her how to walk with a 
walker. My questions for those of you that have a syrinx did you get the syrinx 
after your spinal injury? Did anyone become paralyzed because of the syrinx? 
Has anyone had their syrinx drained? Sam's Drs said her syrinx had increased in 
size  she has lost too much weight which caused her dial to dislodge. All that 
she has to go through makes me sick.

they would slowly drain. About 3 weeks ago when I got into bed and  they were 
still very swollen. So I asked my mom if she minded letting me lay on my back 
and propping my feet up on several pillows, each leg on separate stack. I lay 
there about 2 hours. It makes a HUGE DIFFERENCE! We cath about 500 to 600. 
Then about 10pm I get on my side.

Just spent 2 days in the ER, well 1 in the ER, 1 in a room. 
Woke up overheated which sometimes causes a claustrophobic / panic feeling. I 
felt panicked and like I could not get enough of a breath. I also felt like I 
was going to get sick. I thought maybe a UTI or something. They were worried 
about my heavy chest, so I had an x-ray, CAT scan, which lead to an 
angioplasty. Luckily everything came out fine. They think my heavy chest is 
from my spine curving causing pressure. So they are setting up an appointment 
with a lung doctor soon. I did have a UTI also. 
  
But I get so frustrated with this stupid panic feeling. I worry about 
everything and can't stop. I worry about that I'm going to worry. Wake up 
feeling like I just have to get up into my chair. It's a scary panic. It use to 
happen maybe once every few years, but lately it's more often. I think it's my 
heavy chest making it worse. I just don't feel like I'm getting enough oxygen. 
The doc says the lung doc might subscribe an oxygen tank at night. Once the 
feeling is one, I feel so stupid about worrying about that stuff. 
  
Getting overheated seems to be the trigger point most of the time. The problem 
is I feel so cold at night, even shivering. I would swear I'm cold… But if I 
uncover a bit and cool off, I actually get better. So I swear I'm cold, but 
actually I'm too hot. This only started a few years ago. Anyone else have that 
issue? I'm sure it's a nerve ending issue.  But I just shake I feel so cold, 
problem is sometimes it is because I'm cold. So anything I do to get warmer 
only makes me shiver more and get more overheated.  So I just don't know if I'm 
hot or cold, it feels exactly the same. 
  
No fun getting old, Greg

hospital and raised money for the family.  The world lost a great humorist and

Hey gang, today is the 43rd anniversary of my life in quadom. 'Twas a Saturday, 
a warm summer day. A couple of buds and I were at Green River reservoir to 
camp, swim and scout bikinis. The lake was high a couple of feet. I strolled 
along the beach on a submerged sidewalk. Finally, I attempted a belly flop off 
the walk. Instead of flopping, I knifed into the water and my head met the 
sandy bottom. The door to hell suddenly opened and I have been struggling to 
close it ever since. I was 19.

to be executed in an electric chair - LOL. I was all strapped into the chair 
and the lever was pulled to start the process of building up the electricity. 
My executioner asked if I had any last words and I said No more pain, I'll 
have no more pain. No more pain, no more pain, I'll have no more pain. I just 
kept repeating it over and over and when I woke up in the middle of the night 
and started to cry because the reason I woke up was because my pain was so bad 
and I wished my dream was real.  Bobbie
