Hi wheelchair and quad list members: on Monday. My caregiver noticed that my foot was totally lose. It usually is fixed at a 90° angle. I had foot drop surgery in May of 2012. My ankle was operated on and a fixator was used. It was not checked for eight days and I developed gangrene because it was on too tight. I was in the hospital one month for IVs. Then I had to have a wound vacuum for two months before plastic surgery.
I went to KU ER and they thought it was a ruptured tendon and a sent me to a plastic surgeon. He read the x-rays and said my fusion had come apart and he referred me to of orthopedic surgeon. Now I'm not sure what to do. I don't feel comfortable going back to the same Dr. I called my rehab Dr. and left a message and called the original orthopedic Dr. that did my first foot drop surgery in 1980. Do you have any suggestions of what I should do. Has anyone else ever encountered this problem. Or do you know of anyone. I would appreciate any thoughts or recommendations. Dana C4-5 complete quadriplegic, it will be 40 years. In July 26, 2014. I have osteoporosis. In a message dated 3/21/2014 1:03:44 P.M.

I have the Imperium 200H ECU base unit plus large remote. It is rocker switch/push button control. List price of base unit from abledata.com is $3580 I'd be interested in selling if anybody is looking for an ECU. It can control phone,tv,stero, lights, bed, appliances Derrick W On 3/21/2014 12:37 PM, KK Batte wrote: It's about ECU http://www.ablenetinc.com/Assistive-Technology/Environmental-Control-Units-E CU =
