I know that some people on this list would be interested in the subject of sexuality while others would not, and might even find it offensive. We lost a subscriber yesterday, I suspect because we got a bit too graphic about 'the boys.' So, I'm thinking this is not the best place to discuss this topic. Maybe there's a forum that already exists for the topic of SCI and sex? Is it possible to start a sub-list of people on here who wanted to have a candid discussion about this topic, knowing that there is the probabilty of offensive language or information in such a discussion? It's an important topic and I'm guessing more than a few would be interested. Any thoughts [without getting graphic]? Don.

My stool is hard and looks like little pebbles. I drink 3 maybe 4 bottles of water a day.? Probably not enough?? Was told by a nurse in the hospital S.C.I. patients need to limit water intake.? Now I am reading we need alot of water, which is it?? Usually in the evenings I get some results.? But that is not always the case. Sometimes it's in the afternoon.? Lately I? have been going a little bit each day, After sitting 30 min. or so.? In a days time I am off and on maybe 3 to 6 times.? I never feel empty. My fear is I am not going enough for what I am consuming.? When?I get afraid?I try a suppository? (usualy 0nce a week)and end up?with?a mess and ect...which ends up in a?meltdown!?? Thanks.
