I just knew it. Mark is a super human being and a talented para-glider, in his spare time. His group performs at places like county fairs and performs trick maneuvers , while wearing smoke grenades. They land away from the grandstands and then roll out in their chairs to the screaming audiences. I'll never forget Mark's performance at the 1996 Summer Paralympics in Atlanta.

You guessed it! He used to drone on and on about "The Sween Cream brother! Gotta have the Sween Cream to keep the skin strong." About 6-months ago I started having serious problems with red, dry cracking skin and started having heal tiny stage II cracks. I remembered his animated "Gotta have the Sween Cream Brother!" Remark--and hunted some down. Available online and at specialty pharmacies. Within a few days of using Sween Cream the redness and dryness and cracking went away. It rubs in well too so there is no residue--and within 10-minutes of rubbing it in you can apply bandages or adhesives over it. I know I sound like a commercial--but I have no affiliation with them. Wish I did... Bob V On Jul 22, 2011, at 2:11 PM, [email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) wrote: Would that be Mark Welman? Best Wishes In a message dated 7/22/2011 3:59:04 P.M.

It costs about $9-$12 bucks for a tube that will last several months of using it evening and morning on my butt. Works well on skin anywhere. I apply it each morning and evening to protect my skin. I learned this from a world famous Paraplegic Rock Climber and Supercrip--he swears by the stuff.

My doctor told us about the butt paste---it has a funny name but works very well---these can be found at stores like kmart--target and some walgreens I think. good luck ! hope this helps, Dan H. ____________________________________ From: donald scott <[email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) > To: "[email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) " <[email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) > Sent: Fri, July 22, 2011 8:30:47 AM Subject: [QUAD-L] honey vs bag balm vs sulfadiazine hi group, ok, here we go again with the pressure soar question. i developed my first pressure soar after 20 years. it's a stage 2 and barely open. it's about the size of a quarter. it's located on my buttock and was caused by my jay 2 cushion. i've been fighting it for 2 months now and saw my dr. a month ago. he recommended sulfadiazine or also known as silverdine and a gauze pad as well as trying to stay off of it. I was able to stay in bed for awhile but need to be up more now for my girlfriend to go to work. she has 2 more weeks of work before summer break and i need to be up 10 hours a day. it did get slightly better but now coming back from being up i'm assuming. i did get a new cushion yesterday which i'm hoping helps. i guess what i need opinions on is should i give up on the sulfadiazine and try honey or bag balm for a quicker healing result? any suggestions would be helpful. i know the obvious answer is stay down in bed but she needs to work. also is the bag balm you folks use the one in the green can or something else? thanks for your input and help, donald c5/c6 complete = =
