The cold weather is really not a problem as long as you plan for it. I need to make sure that I'm dressed properly for my plans during the day and for the first time since I've been driving I'm able to keep my van inside my garage. As for the snow, we really don't have any and I have

You're exactly right Wheel. Everybody that is purchasing a handicap vehicle needs to have everything adjusted just right even if it means moving the controls an 1/8 of an inch. That's why I always tell people that they need to test drive the vehicle on rough bumpy roads, up-and-down

Hi Dana and others, I am glad that you don't have many UTI . After all the talk from the group about kidney this and that I was feeling fortunate that I didn't have much problems. On Sunday I started feeling a little rough and I just thought it was due to the fact that I had gotten out

To show you how much we have learned about sci, when I was in rehab in 1971, right after my injury, I would sweat and shiver and generally sit in misery with no idea of the problem. The docs and nurses insisted I was overheating, so they parked me in front of an air conditioner! Triple misery!

Hi Kathy, After I read this e-mail, I remembered that the reason they tested me, in 85, when I was diagnosed with bladder cancer, was because I had blood in my urine. I don't want to alarm you, but it might be wise to talk to a urologist. I don't know if others have ever had blood
