[QUAD-L] LittleQuad is back!

Hey gang! I'm back for a while. I need some help with a situation. Several months ago, I was semi-dropped onto the bed and I began having weird sensation on my left hip all the way down my leg. Turns out that it broke T-12. Obviously the doctor couldn't do anything to help it. Have any of you

Derrick Here is an alternative that I think would work. My son in law used it to seal his camper and it is flexible and rough texture. Just be sure and cut some holes in the route to allow moisture to escape. It is used for bed liners in shocks and works well. Good luck, and many thanks for the

Yes it was/is permanent. No regrets at all. Do you "feel" any different other than the pain? What kind of pain is it? I have none stop all, at T-12 anyway Bobbie Smile Everyday > On Sep 24, 2015, at 5:20 PM, Amy Elizabeth Baldwin > wrote: > > Thanks for the reply

I can wear button-down shirts and other things, but I have to wear my strap across my body. It goes from my left shoulder down to my right hip. Just like a seatbelt. I have a friend that did the same thing Joan did and it worked out fine for him. I I have found that pants aren't as difficult as

Welcome back!!! Isn't odd that you/we don't think nothing of breaking your back?! I had surgery to cut the nerves at T-12 called a ryzodomy. It was to stop extreme leg spasms, and it did the job. Bobbie Smile Everyday > On Sep 24, 2015, at 1:59 PM, Amy Elizabeth Baldwin

Thanks for the reply Bobbie! Was the ryzodomy surgery to cut the nerves at T-12 a permanent solution? I have sensation to touch all over my body. I don't really want to lose the ability to feel. Just want the painful part to go away? LittleQuad On Sep 24, 2015 3:47 PM, "Gmail"

hi, For those who live in the frigid winters in the nothern states, what do you use for traction on wooden ramps? I have used the anti-slip tape($150) but it does not last more than 1-2 winters nor give you great traction. I have stained my ramp. My friend tried sand in paint but it did not

Roofing Shingles are cheap and can be easily changed when needed. You should have ample drain slots in the ramp to allow for proper drainage. There is also a pre-soak that you can spray or have sprayed on the wood, before an impending storm that will prevent snow and ice from forming. It
