Dear Members of the QUAD-List,
Last week, our radio show reported a real life situation regarding a blind
quadriplegic who later died. He was critically ill in a CCU in Phoenix,
Arizona, and was a Medicaid patient. The doctors decided that it was
NOT medically necessary to continue his care
I too am excited at the thought that thru the combine efforts of many
people on the Quad-List, justice will prevail. I'm actually surprised that
Jim Lubin's name wasn't included in the celebrities who use the services of that
company, lol.

Not with this pressure sore I've been fighting. I did great with the

Even with the Botox, muscle
relaxers, neurotin, and others I still have muscle spasms. They are
worse after I have been up in my chair all day and I am getting back in my
bed. I always take meds before getting back in bed because I know when I
start being turned the spasms will begin.
Why would you need to remove your footrests if you're doing a transfer
from the side?

I'm forwarding a copy of your email to Karen, who can't see to get on the

some comments that she can direct to you personally.

I see there has been talk of mattresses. I might be needing
one soon, and I hope a new bed too. I tried a few air motion mattresses, but
found them noisy and uncomfortable. I have always just used a 6in foam pad,
with a 18x18in square cut out of the butt area, with a jell pad put in there.
Please delete me from your mailing list...thanks!

helped her.

If you're not walking, you have osteoporosis. This article suggests
most of the damage was done before we left rehab.

You absolutely correct about the Roho
cushion. To overcome that problem, you just have to live chair butt a
little higher instead of sliding. I also slide into an electric
wheelchair. Without obstruction from the armrests I can slide right in
without having to angle the chair.

my balancing and I don't have to lift my legs from the floor to the
