Some months ago I asked if anyone who had a Baclefan Pump would talk to a family of a new quad (Darl. Mom's name is Dana). She was hoping I could find Buddy's e-mail address because she lost it. You here Buddy? Greg

Ouch, the suspender idea could be very uncomfortable? Of course, my solution for the quad gut is a bodysuit, which is not uncomfortable for me, but is difficult for my attendants. I've gotten so used to it that I feel uncomfortable without it. And I agree with Lori, that one of the biggest

The abdominal binder is the best prevention to avoid the quad belly. If the belly is already there I can see how the binder riding up can be a problem. No suggestions from me though on the butt spread. Radical weight loss only through small food intake and proper food works for me. I do not feel

I had the same problem. I went probably 10 years without knowing my weight. I finely got my weight off the bed from an ER visit. Not sire how accurate they are though. I know if you use a lift to transfer, you can get a small scale that goes between the lift and the sling or grab-bar. Those are

Hi Merrill Weight has not been a problem for me-I weigh less now than I did when I broke my neck-although some of that was muscling. Im 5 foot 6 inches, and weigh around 122. I do feel hunger, and I know when I am full, but I do not have a large appetite. I wish I could use a hand cycle, but
