RE: [QUAD-L] Getting rejected from the quad-list
Eskimo North, the Internet site this List is on has been bouncing some e-mails from Cox.Net. Someone was trying to e-mail me directly and kept getting a bounced message saying a spam blocker was blocking the message. I had to e-mail Eskimo and they put the person's address on a accepted list. Greg _ Am I missing something here? Like a brain? If only AOL subscribers are affected, then why is cox.net being rejected?
Re: FW: [QUAD-L] sore advice and pressure relief.
cushion cover size makes a BIG difference. a smaller (tighter) cover allows you to have less air in the cushion. proper inflation for a roho is to blow it up and let it sit open valve to room pressure. then cork it up and put into a cover that allows you to sink in but not bottom out. I've never had a pressure sore from sitting on a roho.

This is one of the reason I ask those to work with a local, Federal Funded, Center for Independent Living (CIL) in the community. They know the National and Local codes on that issue and can advise the building management, if there is truly a question. There is the Law and the Spirit of the Law.

Re: [QUAD-L] Apartments - accessibility
The ADA does not cover strictly residential private apartments and homes. The key word here is 'strictly'. If an apartment complex receives some public funding then they are required to make a certain portion accessible. Otherwise, your scenario is apropos. Dan At 11:17 AM 12/11/2008, Todd Daugherty said something that elicited my response: Can an apartment complex with old buildings charge me to widen a door or put a curb cut in so that I would have access to a ground level apartment? They only have one handicapped 3br unit that is occupied.

FW: FW: [QUAD-L] sore advice and pressure relief.
Sorry I could not say. Right that it does support cushion fingers. Simply show pt what you have and request the next size down. If you need to purchase this independently, you know how hard headed some pt people are, measure yours and request it from the vender. MB C5 There is no fine line to my inflation any longer. My cushion is forgiving after so many years of success. I put an inch give from where cushion bottoms out. Sit on a hand to guestamate inflation. Remember that this works for me with boney butt and no pressure relief but may not be correct for everyone. _ From: t crook [mailto:onemofor...@yahoo.com] Sent: Thursday, December 11, 2008 8:25 AM To: quad-list@eskimo.com; Dan Subject: Re: FW: [QUAD-L] sore advice and pressure relief. Ditto on the being intrigued. I have a fine line between an over-inflated and under-inflated Roho (hi profile/quadro select); due to my skinny bum. The only thing I can think of on how a smaller cover would help, is, it would help hold the cells together from separating, which mine does and allows my bum to get closer to the bottom of the cushion. So what size is your cushion Merrill, and the smaller cover?

To: r.pra...@sbcglobal.net; ddh...@sbcglobal.net; quad-list@eskimo.com I think you'll be ok now that your cushion is properly inflated. I had a sore that I got in rehab over the summer heal while sitting on my roho after they got me on an air mattress at night. Its the other sore that got infected and lead to another surgery in almost the same place as the sore I got fixed last year. When I met with the wheelchair dealer for a new chair, he said that he has seen people heal on a roho cushion. As long as it has the proper amount of air in it and pressure relief is being done. Speaking of pressure relief, since I got this surgery fusing my back even more, I am not longer able to get any sort of shoulder deppresion that leaves me unable to get my butt off of the surface. I lean now. I haven't gotten any new breakdown since the episode over the summer but am curious how you all do your pressure relief.

Re: [QUAD-L] Hallow!
What a coincidence that you wrote this on the very day I had to go to the hospital for a week. I guess I had a real bad reaction to the Thanksgiving leftovers. 2 1/2 hours of diarrhea led to dehydration and extraordinarily low blood pressure. So, for the first time in 5 1/2 years I had to take an ambulance ride to the ER. In that up in ICU for five days and was transferred down to spinal cord for a couple more. My doctor finally released me on Monday telling me that I should have been released the previous Wednesday. The ICU doctors kept telling me I had in a UTI, but I kept insisting that I had no symptoms. It seems they were only treating the bacteria and using the fact my white blood cells were elevated from the dehydration. Thankfully I'm feeling great now and I hope to continue to do so. It's amazing after all that time I thought it would have 100 e-mails to go through. Quadius On Mon, Dec 1, 2008 at 2:04 PM, John S. alcibiat...@yahoo.com wrote: Did everyone get sick or what.
