RE: [QUAD-L] Supra pubic
That's one area I have had lots of luck with. I've used a 16f for over 10-12 years. Though about 6 years ago I switched to the 16f IC (Silver Coated, Infection Control.) I change every 2 weeks. I never see sludge in it. Greg how often do you guys change your catheters? I have a supra pubic and I always have a lot of sludge running through my catheter and consequently it plugs up. I can barely go two weeks without it plugging. I'm using an 18 French. What is the process of increasing up to a 20? Dan
[QUAD-L] Supra Pubic new question
I have a SP cath and every now and then I get a very bad pain in my abdomen, plus lots of gas. Often within days of changing my cath. It starts out feeling like it's just gas, burping, etc. Then It's so bad I want to just bend over. Then I remember last time it happened it was caused by my SP cath. It is draining well, looks clean, no sweating or any AD. But if I change my cath the pain goes away. Like maybe it was just poking me in a bad place. It does case gas, but after changing the cath the gas slowly goes away too. My old urologist told me often any irritation to your bladder can cause bad gas. Anyone have this problem? Thanks, Greg

[QUAD-L] Trojan Condom used as Texas Cath
Sometimes we don't realize how lucky we are... From another disAbility Forum, Tony asks about a surgical cement to bond a homemade texas cath. When I ask Tony to further explain his desired use he replied, He uses a non-lubricated Trojan comdoms, unroll it, glue the bottom part secure it with micopopore tape on top of the rubber sleeve and puncture the tip and that is it. Then he connects it to his leg bag. He further stated that he has been using this method for 37 years. He lives in Tempico, Mexico I could not believe what I was reading But who am I to mess with perfection. Best Wishes In a message dated 10/13/2009 1:50:29 P.M.

[QUAD-L] NIGHTLY HOSPITAL BED USERS.....
Hi group, How many of you use a fully adjustable hospital bed on a nightly basis? When I say fully adjustable I mean to include that the bed also has the up and down feature off the floor. I have always had to use one since my injury in 1979. My caregivers have to move from one side of the bed to the other to move me around to dress me, etc as well as have the bed up off of the floor and at a comfortable level so as not to hurt their backs. This includes spouses, etc. I am writing because my husband and I would like to travel more but need an extra person to travel with us to help with my care. UNLESS a hotel had a room with a fully adjustable hospital bed. Firstly, I have no third person willing to travel here there and everywhere. Neither could we afford to pay for their lodging, food, etc. Lastly, my husband and I would like to travel alone. But, with my husband already having back problems having a hospital bed is a necessity. When we traveled cross-country to move from the Northeast to Southern Arizona [in 2000] my sister helped but we have asked her about other week-to- 10-day trips in the past and she has turned us down. Which is understandable. Since then, and over the years, I have searched many many many places to see if there is a list of helper travelers of some kind but could not find anything. But, even if we did, we could not afford their lodging and food as well as paying them a salary. Not only do I need it for myself and the caregiver dressing care, etc I also take along my Hoyer lift and I would definitely know that there would be clearance under the bed. Anyway, I am writing to a hotel about the possibility of having one room in their entire hotel have a hospital bed in it along with a double bed. OR have them have a fully adjustable hospital bed in a storage area that could be wheeled into a room after reservations have been made. *How many of you, besides myself, could benefit from this possibility with hotels? * Please respond publicly or privately and perhaps you could help the process come to fruition by me giving you the person's contact info of whom I am corresponding with to see if their hotel chain (Hampton Inns) will consider this possibility. I reminded them that it would not be a great cost at all. A simple hospital bed is no more than $750 and mine lasted me 25 years and probably would have lasted longer before I got a new one.

Just changed from EZlock (15 yrs), wanted the clearance on a new c500 with pin retract. If so, does the wheelchair bounce around a lot? No, the ride is a little bumpy. I presently have an ezlock already in my vehicle, but I don't want to install the bracket on the new wheelchair if I'd really don't want to use it later on. Yeah, had the same dilemma$3500 to buy and install. Make sure it fits! I can tell you it's REALLY tight. In fact, when I'm not driving, to get into the passenger seat I have to go up the ramp backwards! The lock prevents the chair from doing 360 turn inside the van. Once in, it works really well, so far. I look forward to your feedback. Quadius PS I'm still waiting on some modifications to my wheelchair, but I am hopeful I will have it shortly.

This is a bit steep if you ask me, so I guess I'll be waiting a little while. I sadly missed the sale they had for about $150. Just thought you all might like to know. Remember, this is for the professional. I also noticed a Matrix which compares all of the types of NaturallySpeaking. I can probably get away with using NaturallySpeaking preferred because I don't even know how to write any of the complex macros to make things a lot quicker. According to this matrix simple script commands (type e-mail address) would work. This is primarily what I use, but I don't believe Knowbrainer software will work with preferred.
