Did one of these guys die from a sore? That's pretty disconcerting, considering I have a wound back in place and have to be in my wheelchair six out of the next nine days.

I would give Matrk static about being a Arkansas Razorbacks fan, and he would give it back to me about being a Hawkeye fan. And he loved to attend gigs his late brother performed at; Marks brother was a musician, if memory serves me correctly the band played just good ol' rock-n'-roll. I will miss you RollinOn QuadPirate! Pressure sores are a great health risk for us; prevention is our best tool, thoroughly looking your body over for any changes should be a common practice. We (myself, my nurse and or wife) check my pressure areas in the morning (and apply bag balm) then again in the afternoon (and bag balm), and at night we do a skin check with no bag balm. I never looked at my skin before 2001 (broke my neck in' 88); but now after the wound in 2001 that turned into osteomyelitis and about killed me, checking my skin is now a common practice. We use a mirror that has normal view on one side and magnified on the other; I am a freak about it now, so I look at every damn pimple that pops up.

I saw a note from his sister that she missed him. I so didn't want to believe that this could be true. I just knew it had to be wrong. She told me he died on December 12. They had worked on him for an hour. He was septic from what they think was decubitus ulcer. It was very unexpected. I believe he is a great loss to the disability community. He is really missed by me and many others. I could always write him if you had a question or just right to say hi. I so enjoyed the quad chats we used to have. I'm sure many of you remember when we met on Saturdays for quite some time that he started up. To me he was a fairly new injury compared to myself and he fought to get out of the nursing home and get a full-time job in contracting. I'm thinking it was about seven years, but I could be wrong. His boss built an accessible house for him, which he shared with the list. I'm sure the rest of the group can add many more things about Mark.. Dave and Mark will both be sorely missed. My love and prayers go out to both families. I was off the list for a while during that time, so I thought I had missed the information..
