Ok Eric,
Believe me I know first hand that any sore is no
laughing matter, but I just keep that picture in my mind. Lol. Can
you imagine someone walking in with your butt cheeks taped to the rails (oh my
have you had a hair cut what happend to your other eye) Hope this hasn't
caused any anger, I just couldn't help myself. But hey if its works I
say go for it! Oh my! Lol. Sorry!
Silas
P.S. Gayle please know no disrespect
intended! But if you try this please send pictures!

I'm having trouble visualizing where your sore is.
Do you have to actually spread your cheeks to see it? If so, it might
just need some air. Find a way to keep your cheeks apart while you lie
on your side or better yet your stomach. For hemorrhoid surgery, you
lie on your stomach and they tape your butt cheeks to the bed rails to hold
them apart. Careful with the tape if you try that. Don't want to
get sore from the tape.

Hello everyone,
My name is Gayle, I
am a c-5/c-6 quad, 8yrss. post. I have been lurking on the quad-list for
several years now. I have only posted maybe two times, so Iam realitivly
new to the list. It is hard for me to type, but good excercise for my
arms. I am fighting a sore in the crack of my butt. It has been
there for 3yrs. now. The wound doctor at Shepherd Center say that it is
not from pressure. I think it started when I was pulled across the bed
with a draw sheet to turn me on my side. I believe the movement from my
bowel program(DIGITAL STEM) causes it to stay open. I and my husband are
so frustrated with it. We have tried everything. I don't consider surgery
a option, because I do not handle being put to sleep well. Now after
reading Stacy's post I am truly scared.
I did my rehab at SHEPHED
CENTER. It is a geat place. I have a baclophen pump that has made my life
so much better. My husband is my caregiver. The company he worked for
moved to Germany 2yrs. ago and he stays home with me. I was injured in a
car arash, caused by a uninsured drunk driver. On impact my seatbelt broke
and my airbag deployed breaking my neck at c2. I was paralyzed by a bleed
in my spinal cord. I sued the car company and won a very large amount,
which really helps with all the expenses of being a quad. My arm is tired
so I must go for now, but I will be back!
sincerely,
Gayle
(48yrs.
old)
