[QUAD-L] I have pneumonia- Thumping

[wheelchair]

LOL   Now you know why they call it thumping.  This is the only time an aide can get back on you.  Some use their hands.  Others use their fists.  Some use the machine. Mostly on the back.  Thumping, is not beating, lol W           In a message dated 9/11/2006 4:15:49 P.M.

I got the crud up by lying on my back on a hospital bed, then elevating my feet as far as possible so I was almost standing on my head. My wife then beat my chest like a drum and the gunk came loose. I believe it saved my life.
