I use the Guardian Voyager 98000 Portable Overhead Lifter with the Easytrack 3 Post Configuration. The whole thing is easy to setup by just about anyone and is portable. We use it in my bedroom to transfer between bed and wheelchair. I've been using it for 4 years. You need 3 things: Voyager Port

Dave, Slow cookers (crockpots) are great for simple, no mess meals. A slow cooker meal that I enjoy is simply adding pork chops, chicken breast or cube steaks and a can of cream of mushroom soup and cook for several hours. Serve over rice or pasta with vegetables on the side. Yum Yum! Steve

[QUAD-L] Bladder Irrigation

[QUAD-L] Re: livening up the list... any favorite recipes?

I have several different caregivers who come during the week, and I have been getting kind of bored with microwave dinners. On the other hand, my wife does not want caregivers rummaging through her kitchen to prepare complex meals (and sometimes leave a mess). Do you have any favorite recip
