Do you guys have federal income taxes taken out of your SSDI checks?
I'm new to this SSDI thing and don't know all the rules yet.
Do you even claim them on your federal tax return?

Congrats Greg,
Exciting... ain't it?
You are now realizing why strength and conditioning is so important before
the drivers training begins.
Stamina is the next part of that cycle. How long will you be able to drive
before fatigue kicks in. Only time and practice will tell. That
All techniques don't work for all people. Two techniques were described here
that work for us - using your clothing to push you back in the chair and
pushing your knees. I've used both and find pushing the knees infinitely more
comfortable and much easier for my aides. But both work. Simply

Thanks Sandy. I'm not opposed to the knee push, just caution aides when
using that technique. Actually, I like that technique. It was the quads that
had both knee and shoulder problems which prevented the knee push. Plus they
were both heavy and sat firmly on their no-skid cushions.
Way to go Greg. I did my 1st post SCI driving in Ann Arbor Mich. We went
down town and parallel parked and everything. Just like riding a bike - you
just never forget - only need to get back in the saddle. Best of luck to you.

Hi LQ,
I've always had a lot of 8 year old in me. A lot! The Spring is when I get
my physical tests run, so I'll be needing the extra energy.

Hi Bill,
If one of my kidney's hurt, I seem to feel it on both sides of my back, not
on my side. My side will hurt if I'm up in my chair quite awhile, but the pain
goes away after awhile. I'd say if the pain continues, get the kidneys checked.

My name is Timothy Cox and I am a SCI survivor. I am currently a Doctoral
Candidate completing my dissertation at the California School of Professional
Psychology. I am being supervised by Siobhan O'toole Ph.D.
My dissertation is directly related to how SCI survivors cope after their
injury.

She is using the WWW to raise awareness about her concerns. Sometimes it
only takes the right person doing the right thing to get a situation resolved.
Some times it takes a lot of people to solve a problem this heartbreaking, so

Is your research and survey for spinal cord injury survivors only or does it
also include quadriplegics from other causes?
Hi Dan,
Have you tried leaning forward just as you're released into the chair? It
helps me to get my hips/butt back on my cushion. With only one leg it seems
that my butt wants to twist just as I release my Hoyer to sit.

Hi Silas,
I use a Hoyer and because my right leg was removed from the hip in '89, I
must use my hips to guide me in correctly. The 'Tilt' on my chair does help a
lot!

I usually have 10 cc in my balloon also. On my last visit to the urologist,
they only put 6 cc of water into the balloon. I think my doctor decreased
the water to 6 cc because I was having bladder spasms. The doctor prescribed
Detrol for the spasms, but I never took it. Five days
