I am amazed quadmedic. I see my doctor for a flu shot every year and let him ask some q's. tell him about any problems. I usually e mail him about day to day stupid stuff, perscriptions etc. He had me do a series of x rays last fall and see how all the bones that broke were doing after 30 years. I have intense bouts of pain and seeing as the cartilage from midback down is largly just cartilage in name only, I figured the pain was from that. My bones are severely decalcified and arthritic. Some never healed very well after my accident. When I say pain, y'all do know I don't mean what AB's talk about? I often think I could handle the pain if only I didn't go intro convulsions and get those thrilling headaches. I have some pills to get my blood preasure down now. I always had low blood preasure but when I'm in pain it skyrockets I wondered if any of you long term quads are having these problems and finding better solutions than vicodin and valium cocktails with a few hits of herb. As far as quad longevity as a topic, hell, nobody expected me to live. I've had my affairs in order for so long it's become a joke to be greeted with, "Are you still alive?'" Linda, as a fellow escapee from the nursing home system, I know how courageous you had to be to leave and do it on your own. They had me so afraid of being alone. You know, I enjoy my time alone. When I have an accident, well, there are so many things worse than that. john in Cincinnati, OH 31 years post, C-5 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; quad-list@eskimo.com Sent: Sun, 7 Jan 2007 9:59 AM Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] Re: Quad Longevity
