Nick,
It sounds like your roommates are just being lazy or intentionally blowing you off. I bet they have no problem waking up if it's something they want or need to do for themselves. When I was going to school my roommate (also a Quad) and I had a live-in roommate/caregiver that we ended up replacing for just this reason. No amount of encouragement, pleading, shaming or threatening made any difference with him.

Does anybody know of a good, loud buzzer or anything I might be able to use to raise the dead?? I've actually had to call 911, who doesn't understand that I am spasming because I need to be rolled. So they washed their hands of me, and have made it clear that I either let them take me to the emergency room next time or pay for them to come out.. My roommate insists that he is just too heavy a sleeper. I'm out of options. What is out there that may help me? Better roommates? Thanks, Nick Www.SurvivingParalysis.com
