I don't blame those of you that are quads to fear going into the hospital. When I left the critical care unit after a month, I was still unable to move or talk. I even had C.N.A. sit with me because I couldn't push the call button. I often woke up to find her asleep or not in the room.

Does anyone know where I can find a ceiling track lift for less than an arm and a leg? In the garage, this stuff is a few hundred, in the bedroom it is a few thousand. Yeah right the liability thing. I'll sign a waiver. Dave

Thing is with the rehab hospital I was at, the doctors were only there for a few hours a day to check on daily progress of their patients. They rent out office space in the hospital to see those that have been discharged on one side of the hospital so are there if any problems but the
