I know the bags do not backflow. The line from the catheter to the bag does backflow. I was watching a nurse at a hospital where I volunteer one day a week and the patient was in a coma. She lifted the bad up right high and walked around the bed. As she did, the line to the bag emptied back into the patient who also had a supra pubic catheter. I didn't say anything to her because as a volunteer I'm just barely tolerated. He was being turned every two hours and treated for recurring UTI's. I did begin thinking of many of you and if your lines drain back to you when you move about. I'm not saying clamp your catheter and leave it clamped. Only clamp it untill you finish turning then unclamp it. I'm not thinking it takes more than a few minutes before unclamping. As far as family members wanting rid of you, or sending you to a nursing home, contact your local Center for Independant Living. There are specially designed apartments in most communities. You will need to contact a local agency or hire your own aides. Even good nursing homes suck. I've been in and out of a few. I'd rather live on my own, although I seem to have a regular stream of family members and neighbors coming through. The family members that insisted I live in a nursing home don't come around much. It works out pretty good since I can't tolerate drunks and theives, either. Trust me, you will enjoy living alone. The moment everyone thinks your alone they begin calling and visiting. i'm sitting here wondering what I'm going to do with all the food that has been dropped off. theres an entire apple pie and a meatloaf.

Re: [QUAD-L]
Now, if they did that... look at all the money they would lose in pharmaceutical kickbacks, etc, etc, etc! Further, more and more of them think they are above the rest of us (gods in their own realms) so they think they can do and tell you anything they want and you are supposed to swallow it like any other pill they prescribe. I so much enjoy the show Mystery Diagnoses on The Discovery Health Channel that comes on regularly Monday nights but can be caught at other unexpected times on weekends, etc.. I stay away from doctors as much as I can. They have forgotten the Hippocratic Oath and just feel that their malpractice insurance is enough to cover their sweet asses.

I have been classified as a c3 quad since my injury 10 years ago. I know why, because of a ventelator initially, Off vent soon after. I have functioned as a c4-5 since that time, but have been unable to get classification changed. Finally got a Dr to give alittle. He change classification to c3 c4 c5. I know it's not very important in the scheme of things, but every time someone see c3 on a chart they start acting like I'm to fragile to do anything and start limiting what they think I can do.

[QUAD-L] pool mods
hi guys, I'm going to try to make my pool more useful. take a look and see if you can guess what these mods will cost... -_http://ocgrands.com/pool/_ (http://ocgrands.com/pool/) I haven't contacted any professionals yet so I'm still smilingI'm sure that will change.

Re: [QUAD-L] pool mods
It looks more than 35M of water, Dave. You didn't mention the material of your pool, ie: poured and reinforced concrete, fibreglass shell. I'm guessing that the contractor will choose to remove and replace what you have as modifications, won't do the same. Cost of materials vary across the US and labor rates as well.

Re: [QUAD-L] controlling backflow
I was just joking saying that lori n wheels, Nobody has ever offended me. You and wheels ask questions. I'm on more narcotics these days and If I'm hard to understand, I appreciate y'all saying something. Never think you've offended me. You've merely caused me to go back and see how goofy I got. :-D Prayers and best wishes always, john - Original Message From: Lori Michaelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: John S.
