Re: [QUAD-L] New Years Resolutions
Silas, Sorry to hear about your wounds that aren't healing. I will put you on my prayer list. I know how that can be I had one two years ago that took six months. I'll have to look up the name of what they used to put inside. It seemed to really work. It was something that caused it to heal. Dana Ok Silas I'll have them duct taped and crossed tonight!

Fwd: [QUAD-L] New Years Resolutions- telephone chains
Hi I thank a telephone chain sounds great.I have a cell phone and I have free nights and weekends. My News years Resolution is to get thought till spring with my classes,I graduate this spring. Wheelchair Warrior Note: forwarded message attached. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com ---BeginMessage--- Telephone chains are nothing new. They have been around for decades. A very handy way to find out and keep and eye on loved ones. Then cell phones were created and long distance calls were free, for the most part. Then once again, people became too busy. There was a story about a person who started a phone chain on the suggestion of their church elder, pastor or rabbi and called anyone on the list, made sure they were ok and disconnected. Before long the chain had grown on referrals from other churches and organizations. Some of those short calls developed into longer conversation and lasting friendships. One of those woman who was contacted 3 times a week by phone, chose upon her timely passing to will a greater part of her fortune to the one person who took the time to call her and see how see was doing all those months and weeks before she passed. The amount was quite substantial. Kindness, or was it? Best Wishes W In a message dated 12/19/2006 4:44:05 P.M.

Re: [QUAD-L] New Years Resolutions
Hi Dillon, I am taking the, Be Nicer to Others in Your Life, idea as a concept that I'm making into my New Year's Resolution this year. My life will be better because of it. Take care and stay strong.

A smile, and yes even a phone call can do wonders for someone's self-worth. To be appreciated, to be missed means a lot to me and all of us and especially those feeling kind of down and alone.

Random acts of kindness, can be so rewarding. Can you imagine holding a door open for a TAB, and smiling? Perhaps, a peer counselor. There are always a need. Stuck at home? Start a telephone chain. Once a day. Once a week, you just call and say hi. You call just to make sure the person is ok. It doesn't hurt, and seldom costs. Help out at your local elementary school. Teach a kid to read.

Re: [QUAD-L] Bladder Control News!- Print Save
Great news for those of us that have the ability to scratch the inside of their thigh. Maybe one day they'll figure out how to make something like this work so we can reconstitute all of our nerve damage. Quadius [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Surgery Seen As Aid To Bladder Control For Paralyzed People Dateline- Washington Needing a wheelchair isn't always the biggest complaint of people left paralyzed by spinal cord injury. Its also the loss of bladder control. On Monday, Michigan doctors began a unique experiment to see if rerouting patients nerves just might fix the problems. Its a delicate operation. Surgeons cut open a spot on the spine and sew two normally unrelated nerves together-one from the thigh- with a single hair thin stitch. It will take several months for this new nerve bridge to heal, an anxious waiting period for the first volunteers. But if it works, merely scratching the thigh should signal the bladder to empty, allowing patients to ditch their despised catheters and restore a longed-for degree of freedom, as well as fewer bladder infections and other serious complications. Its a technique pioneered in China that is starting to garner international attention and surgeons at William Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oaks, Michigan, hope their new US study will prove if the approach really is a solution for at least some patients. w __ Do You Yahoo!?

I'm sure that the nose nerve was the first considered, but also the first to be eliminated in looking for just the right nerve. W In a message dated 12/20/2006 3:15:08 P.M.
