I'm not quite sure how well these work, but I thought he alternating pressure cushioned looked relatively interesting. If it works in bed, why wouldn't it work in a wheelchair? At least that was my theory, but it may cause more problems than it remedies, for all I know. http://www.ergoair.com/pro

Let the spanking begin... it does make a lot of sense and as of yesterday I decided to try. I got a couple of funny looks from my mom and my caregiver they agreed to try it. Take care and play nice Tammie Lou C6 complete quadriplegic 13 years post chippertue.com _Chippertue's World_ (http:/

Hey W -- After all these years, why am I not surpised to still see your ongoing advocacy for Spanking Therapy? By now you should be well into some hardcore data collection or even Butt Spanking data "anal-yziling." Best! --Tod [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Actually, butt spanking therapy

Actually, butt spanking therapy does make a lot of sense if you think about it, I will have to try it... I can't wait to see the look on my family face when they come to visit and hear that lol. When I saw the purple the first thing that came to my mind is a circulation problem. Thank you ve
