I HAD MY FIRST CYSTOSCOPE ON MY BLADDER 
YESTERDAY AFTER SUFFERING CHILLS AND MY CATHETER STOPPING UP EVERY 3 TO 7 
DAYS. I HAD A BLADDER STONE THE DIAMETER OF A QUARTER! DR. BROKE IT 
UP AND SUCTIONED IT OUT - NO PROBLEM WITH CHILLS TODAY. I ASSUME MY CATHER 
RUBBED THE STONE WHICH RUBBED MY BLADDER CAUSING PAIN. AN INTERESTING NOTE 
IS A I HAD A CAT SCAN IN AUGUST THAT ANOTHER DR SAID WAS CLEAR. MY NEW DR 
SAID IT WAS UNLIKELY THIS STONE FORMED IN 14 WEEKS.

   Hi all, I have been having bad bladder spasms and pain for 
  three monthsmy urologist tells me I just have to live with itmy 
  present urine culture showed 3 types of bacteria. He told me oh well your 
  always going to have bacteria present with a supra pubic or any indwelling 
  catheters. I can understand that to an extent, but in my 7 years post injury 
  this is the third time I have suffered this much for long periods of 
  time...Have any of you gone to a 2nd urologist for a 2nd opinion???

Tofu to mend bones -- Ananova: Tofu, the staple of many vegetarian diets, could soon be just as useful in the medical world.   Doctors have found the soya product can be turned into 'scaffolding' to help bones mend before it biodegrades.The National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts has invested 149,000 in research to explore its potential further.  Dr Matteo Santin of the University of Brighton, who is working on the project, said clinical trials in human patients could take place as early as next year. It is hoped the tofu bone filler could be used in car crash victims who need major reconstructive surgery. Dentists could also use it in patients with severe gum infections that have spread to the bone that supports the teeth.Dr Santin said: "What we have done is to transform the common tofu, the food you can buy in shops, into a biodegradable plastic. "When we started research activity, our goal was to use it to fill gaps in bone related injuries to regenerate the bone. "In the course of our research we found out that this material can induce the regeneration of bone in a relatively quick manner."

#1 Looking in the mall for a cotton nightgown, I tried my luck in a store known for its hot lingerie. To my delight, however, I found just what I was looking for.Waiting in the line to pay, I noticed a young woman behind me holding the same nightgown. This confirmed what I suspected all along: despite being over 50, I still have a very "with it" attitude. "I see we have the same taste," I said proudly to the 20 something behind me."Yes," she replied. "I'm getting this for my grandmother for Christmas." #2 To stop her 4-year old daughter from biting her nails, her mother tells her it'll make her fat."I won't do it any more, Mom," says the daughter.Next day they are out walking when they meet a very fat man."If I bite my fingernails, I'll be as fat as that, won't I Mom?""You'll be fatter than that," says her mother.They get on a bus, and sitting opposite them is a very pregnant lady.The little girl can't take her eyes off the woman's belly.The pregnant lady feels increasingly uncomfortable under this stare, and finally leans forward and says to the little girl, "Excuse me, but do you know me?" And the little girl says, "No, but I know what you've been doing..." #3 An elderly woman walked into the local country church.The friendly usher greeted her at the door. "Where wouldyou like to sit?" he asked politely."The front row, please," she answered."You really don't want to do that," the usher said. "Thepastor is really boring.""Do you happen to know who I am?" the woman inquired."No," he said."I'm the pastor's mother," she replied indignantly."Do you know who I am?" he asked."No," she said."Good," he answered. #4 The teen-ager lost a contact lens while playing basketball in his driveway. After a fruitless search, he told his mother the lens was nowhere to be found. Undaunted, she went outside and in a few minutes returned with the lens in her hand."How did you manage to find it, Mom?" the teen-ager asked."We weren't looking for the same thing," she replied. "You were looking for a small piece of plastic. I was looking for $150."

  HI  Smurf,
  Sorry it has taken me a few  days to get back to you and the others
 that had
  some questions, but right after  posting, I came down with a heck of
 kidney
  infection.Why is it with us that when  we go in with one problem we
 can end up
  with a kidney problem in the end ??  After suffering through bactrum
 and
  cranberry juice is it finally getting  better.
  Over the past 2 years I  have had 7 rounds of botox  injections in
 both legs.
   The first 2 were  very painful and I wore dynasplints on both legs
 and the
  splints were nothing  but torture.
   I changed doctors and  he also changed my medications that was
 helping my
  pain so I agreed to attempt  Botox again. I was wearing  lidocaide
 patches on my
  legs for pain  control and it did seem to help, so when he did the
 botox
  injection he  added lidocaine .  He was concerned about my legs
 because he
  couldn't get  any reaction on the emg,  so he  was having trouble
 finding active
  nerve activity.  The last session I went in he said he wanted to
 take  a pen and
  make points where I told him  I hurt and he would shoot deep  trigger
 points.
   He injected very deep areas.  I was told I didn't  want to see the
 needle.
  I had no relief at all from that session. I  am very glad I tried ,
 botox
  because I did get some relieve at times, will  I go through it again,
 I don't
  think so.  When I was in the hospital they  put pneumatic compression
 boots on me
  that felt like I was getting a gentle  massage.For the first time, it
 made my
  legs feel soft and removed pain, but the  bummer is they  cost on the
 low end
  $800 neither Medicare or Medicaid pays  for it.  I have read where it
 says
  Medicare will, but 2 representatives  says no.  I have located
 where ,  it should
  have been approved 2001,  so I am not through discussing it.  If I
 decide to
  buy it I will go  directly yo the company and not the area corner
 store to cut
  out the middle  man.

But, I have a question for you all. I’m supposed to be getting a new wheelchair and I was wondering if switching from an Invacare would be appropriate. Currently I had an Invacare Rangers x storm series. Different people have suggested that I get either a quickie or a permobile. I just don’t know which way to go. I haven’t had any trouble with my Invacare, but if there is a better power chair out there please let me know.

Nicole,I believe in my heart that no doctor can accurately predict when your body is going to change, but I do know what you are going through. Well, not exactly, but in a roundabout way. This past August was my six-year anniversary and I have suddenly gained a lot of weight. I also did go through a period where I was having frequent accidents and my spasms have increased severely. And this was all before my sixth anniversary. All you can do is take it one day at a time and go with the flow because I believe everybody’s body responds differently.Nyree- Original Message -

He said that Invacares are the leaders in power wheelchairs. According to him permobile and quickie are still playing catch-up. It’s not that I don’t trust him; I just want a more influential point of view and they figured a little input from all of you guys would help me out.

Another consideration is the type of controls you use etc. Like a good

[QUAD-L] wheelchairs (what's good and what's bad)?

2004-12-15 Thread wheelchair
DMEs are locked in to sales contracts with manufacturers for better discounts 
based on total dollar sales in various quarters.  So the more Invacares 
ordered the better the discount to the DME.  Same could be said about the 
Permobile.  Also, some DME will direct their employees to lean customers 
towards the 
specials.
Invacare doesn't design everything they sell.  So much of their equipment 
comes from China and then passes thru their doors for labels and manuals.
You also have to remember that if you do need a part, where are you going to 
get it from and will it be quick shipped.
You might also pose a written question to Contact Us at Permobile's website 
without revealing your DME and see what Permobile has to say.

Hey Stunman,
My first chair was a quickie and had it 5 years with only the switch from my LaBac go out because I broke it actually.
I've never changed the batterries in 5 years and it's slower now but still going but a very solid chair the only thing that I didn't like was I had a quickie P320 and it has absolutely no suspension which wore you out during the day but all in all a great chair.

As you know she was also a quadrigpligic and lived many years after her accident in 1974. Please pray for her family and her many friends at this sad time.ThanksMessage Sent: 12/15/2004 3:33:42 PM Eastern TimeDear Father in heaven we come to you with heavy hearts over the loss of our friend Kathie. We praise you for the opportunity of sharing her with us. We know that we still see her again in our heavenly home. We praise you, her joy that she shared with so many. We praise you for all the wonderful deeds, that she did for others. It was truly a blessing to know her. Father, comfort our sorrow and fill us with the joy that she would want us to have. This world has truly losta wonderful person in Kathie. Thank you Jesus her life and our friendship. AmenGrieve - Grief is a cup of sorrow. Though it is bitter, you must drink the entire cup and let your grief run its natural course. Trying to deny or repress the pain of grief is unhealthy. Unresolved grief can surface later in life and lead to emotional problems. Allow yourself to feel sorrow.Believe - Put your faith in all of God's promises and assurances. You must trust that your good and loving Heavenly Father knows best and that His understanding is perfect.Receive - God's desire to give comfort knows no bounds. But we must reach out and accept it. Through prayer and meditation, find a place in God's presence where He can bathe you in His love and wrap His arms around you as a loving father would his hurting child. Spend time in the Bible and allow the Holy Spirit to minister to your wounded heart with the healing balm of God's Eternal Word. In the Agape Love of Jesus Christ, Jimmyhttp://www.youens.com/mccoy/

YRS POST

I am almost 10 years post injury and it seems some things change 
continuously. I did experience problems with my catheter and occasionally 
still have problems with it clogging up for some unknown reason. Going five 
years without a bowel incident is pretty darn good. I could say that I went 
a long also, but every incident I have had has usually been the result of my 
bowel regimen not being completed properly. Over the last few years I have 
noticed that despite being only a couple of pounds heavier I am having more 
and more difficulty trying to prevent (what I now believe to be the 
inevitable) Quad gut. Just when I think I have about everything figured out, 
something changes and I am learning all over again. On the brighter side, 
maybe this prevents boredom.

Hi Smurf,

A high speed, "always on" connection is a huge time saver. Never again wait on dial up connections, especially at heavy use times. With DSL busy signals and idle connections being dropped will be a thing of the past. 
DSL offers lightning fast speeds up to 50 times faster than dial up. Downloading office documents, MP3's and other large files will be done in a few minutes or even seconds.With dial-up you have to wait an hour or more for large files to download, soimagine the convenience of downloading the files you need faster than you ever could with your dial up connection.

i've been researching this morning 
and read that if contrast is used in a cat scan bladder stones won't show 
up. they used contrast on me. an x-ray should show it.

good luck

Hi John,

Of course that's a helo, it always hangs above my head! hehe

Accountance is a huge difference from psychology! Although I think 
with psychology you either love it or hate it in terms of weather you feel 
comfortable with it. One of those things I guess!

Take care,
