It is just part of being a quadriplegic and something I except. Unfortunately, you seem to be more sensitive to the heat than I am and that is not unusual. Maybe you could find a middle ground where the weather is decent during the summer and not terribly cold during the winter. I would love to move to Hawaii if I had the money. I lived there for three years when I was younger and the weather was fantastic. There isn't even a need for a heater.

I had heat stroke a few times, its easier 4 me 2 warm up than 2 cool down. In the summer I have 2 be real careful drink fluids, keep a wet washcloth near, spray bottle, ice or cold pax. And itll hit me fast and hard Im fine 1 minute than just fall over drained of all energy. I was coming across the parking lot last summer than just couldnt push anymore, couldnt even situp in my chair. Had 2 get someone 2 push me home call my agency, pack ice bags on neck, groin area its funny what youll ask a stranger 2 do in dire emergencies. Id love 2 move down south in the future, I can deal with the cold but cant stand the snow anymore, I can dress warm but getting around in snow is DAMN near impossible at times :( Houston On 1/19/0! 5 10:24 AM, "QuadPirate" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I heard that Tony I keep it plenty warm in my house it drives people nuts when they come over.   Mark   -------Original Message------- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tuesday, January 18, 2005 6:29:24 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: quad-list@eskimo.com Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] Cold   In a message dated 1/18/2005 6:53:29 PM Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: It seems every year is worse for me.  I'm sitting here in my 700 house with a thermal T-shirt covered by a sweater and a small blanket in my lap.  I still feel cold.  I can't eat or drink anything cold without cooling my body down so much that I get the shivers.  I cannot wait for spring.
