Re: [QUAD-L] Inflammed testicles
I truly hope your primary doctor is aware of the situation. Cleaning the area properly is most important. Changing your chucks often may help keep the private area clean n dry too.

Re: [QUAD-L] Bowel tip
Heed the warning signs. Have a daily Bowel Movement to make sure the bowel is cleared. Are Duk's being used? Best Wishes In a message dated 12/14/2013 3:47:22 A.M. Central Standard Time, ntpgrn...@aol.com writes: If you had one tip to prevent bowel accident what would it be? Nancy

BUDWEISER Commercials I had forgotten how wonderful these Budweiser commercials are and how they just make you feel good. Enjoy! Just a great collection of super commercials. _www.youtube.com/embed/g77TQx2ZvE0?feature=player_detailpage_ (http://www.youtube.com/embed/g77TQx2ZvE0?feature=player_detailpage)
Re: [QUAD-L] Bowel tip
I've been on an every-other day regiment since rehab. Tips I can provide would be: 1) use a good enema that has bisacodyl (this stimulates your bowels to contract) 2) make certain you or your aide digitally check prior to inserting enema 3) it seems the further inside you can get the enema the better it works (speculation here) 4) My bowel programs last 1 hour, I do manual checks at 30 and 45 minutes. I make certain to have my aide thoroughly check for remaining feces. 5) The healthier you eat, the more regular you will be. 6) Medicines affect your movement. Since I've been taking Hydrocodone 3 years ago, I've had zero accidents because it slows down the peristalsis (squeeze/release of the intestines). Downside is that I must drink at least 64oz of water a day or deal with bad constipation. Good luck, remember that each of us must find our own routine. Unfortunately it's not one-size-fits-all.

Re: [QUAD-L] Inflammed testicles
Try bag balm or udder balm, I have issues with sweating and when the hairy twins and surrounding area get red and raw it helps clear it up.

Re: [QUAD-L] Inflammed testicles
In addition to cleaning as thoroughly as you can stand. Have your Dr prescribe Silvadene Cream. This is a topical anti-bacterial for treating wounds, but works wonders on rashes.

FW: [QUAD-L] Inflammed testicles
From: Billy Lang [mailto:blan...@verizon.net] Sent: Saturday, December 14, 2013 3:02 PM To: 'ntpgrn...@aol.com' Subject: RE: [QUAD-L] Inflammed testicles I have this too. My redness extends back from my testicles to my anus. We (my nurses and I)are starting with a process of elimination. 1. I have been putting a product called Askafor on some scrapes I have on my butt due to transfers. I'm stopping that. 2. I am doing more pressure relief. I know my backside gets red after a bowel program. This is due to trying to pushing out stool. Having a number of programs in a row and pushing down while on my commode chair could be the cause. 3. I had 6 teeth removed recently. My diet has changed to soft foods while my gums heal. I know I'm not getting enough protein. So I'll start on protein shakes immediately. You may want to look at the side of facts of what ever antibiotic you are using. BTW: I am assuming that you are a caregiver and not a guy named Nancy with testicles.

[QUAD-L] More on Snow...
We currently have around 8 here in western NY. I live in the Hamlet of Honeoye which is on one of the smaller Finger Lakes and the town next door is Bristol. How do I handle this weather? I hibernate! I have my space heater on my desk and my hairdryer by my tipping spot and a nice window to watch all the pretty white stuff fall. Would I move somewhere warmer? You bettcha! But, I get great benefits here... Here is our local forecast: Rochester 16° 22° | 17° * Periods of snow, accumulating 6 to 10 inches in the Rochester area by daybreak Sunday, with locally higher tallies in the Finger Lakes and Bristol Hills.

Re: [QUAD-L] More on Snow...
We have 8 so far and tomorrow we're going to get freezing rain. I sleep without any heat because I get to hot otherwise. The temputure in our place, at night, gets down to 65° During the day we only have the heat up to 72° Bobbie in Northern New Jersey Smile Everyday On Dec 14, 2013, at 5:45 PM, Nan nlg52...@yahoo.com wrote: We currently have around 8 here in western NY.

[QUAD-L] Ergojoystick
I subscribed to this list way back in the winter of 1999 right after I came back from rehab. It was very helpful. I hope the list is as good as I remember. Its been quite a ride since then. I'm trying to start a business selling a wheelchair joystick handle I developed. I was wondering if you guys could take a look at my website and facebook page. I plan on starting on selling in the next few weeks. -Joe https://www.facebook.com/ergojoystickhandle http://www.ergojoystick.com/
