They can't tell me if their rooms are big enough for my lift to do a transfer but I'm welcome to send someone by to measure and look to see. I live 70 miles away. I was hoping pictures of my rear hanging out would suffice on the 1st visit but they said no, they would have to do an exam (and my butt barely fits on a procedure table at the gynecologist's office)..... I'm thinking a trip to the ER at the hospital where they do surgery sounds like less hassle... and I imagine if my blood pressure is anything like this morning 154/135 that's reason enough to go to the ER (then again they may treat my blood pressure and tell me to follow up with the doctor about what's causing it) This is why I've put it off for so long....it's not an easy task! Bowel program was this morning which made it worse....and I'm finally coughing up crud from upper respiratory infection which apparently is causing my butt pain because I get a pounding headache when I lean forward and cough. I finally took a lortab and think I will take 1 in the morning about an hour before I get up to shower(hopefully it will block the pain and help me not to get dysreflexic). Curse words J Also, I have a prescription for Clonidine for when my blood pressure gets high but I'm scared to take it because I'm afraid it'll make it bottom out....my norm is 90/60. Anyone else use this for bouts of AD? Any and all suggestions please. Nicki c5/6
