I have been having a lot of secretions from my trac probably from desert pollen this Winter and now Spring. I have been sitting more upright in bed and in my chair to keep my airway clear. This morning during our daily butt check a weeping sore was found on my tail bone, this is unusual for me since I almost never have skin issues. It is Sat morning no VA sci unit open and no sci nurse to call. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to treat it until Mon. I know, being a quad for almost 12 years I should know, but really, I just don't have skin issues and I don't want to be on my stomach for 6 weeks.

Let's say you'd like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich (or another kind of sandwich) that you can't make. Do you just ask for that sandwich and except it as it is made by the person making it? Or do you try and instruct how you prefer the sandwich? For instance; I like a lot of peanut butter, or I don't want that kind of jelly. Dose the person making the sandwich or meal, think you are being a pain in the butt by being so particular?

Re: [QUAD-L] Why Were You Injured?
I know there is a reason for it and unfortunately it'll be the day I die when I find out. I believe it was for a greater purpose. I've done some soul searching and talked to my pastor about it and believe that what happens with me isn't about me. After I was injured, I thought I was doing most everything right then a mess of medical problems that held me back from my education, then a whole new struggle. I thought the struggles this difficult with agencies would have been over with but no so now I'm starting over. It took me a while to not be angry about it but the better I'm feeling physically and coming to grips with the fact my movement got worse after the several fusions over the last 2 years and more reliant on others for help on top of needing a power chair now because my chair tips up ramps since I am unable to lean forward. And the pain, my God the pain in my back. Ok went on a rant. Thought I knew what my destiny was, now have no idea.

Re: [QUAD-L] How to make a P B J sandwich correctly
Potato.. Po tat to. Tomato too Mot to. Pop or soda. All the same except for the difference. A Coke was once a coke and now what is it? It doesn't have cane sugar. It doesn't have caffeine. It doesn't have any of the original contents, but is still called a coke. So much has changed in the interest of a few. Take for instance, a peanut butter and Jelly sandwich. It started out on white bread with peanut butter and grape jelly. Depending on who was making the sandwich, and who it was for determined how much of each was placed on each slice of bread. Those with money to waste found themselves trimming the crust of the edges and cutting each sandwich into 4 sections. Some people felt, as I did, that if you placed a peanut butter n jelly sandwich into a plastic bag and then into a paper bag or lunchbox for a couple of hours before you eat it... it makes the sandwich tastes better. A bag of chips and glass of whole milk and you were riding in tall cotton, as they say in the South. Over the years, much has changed to suit one's personal needs. Chunky peanut butter, whole butter, Jam, preserves, wheat bread, whole grain bread and hamburger buns if you didn't have bread. Elvis was known to have a midnight snack of peanut butter and banana sandwiches. Some things don't change, but apparently so much has changed in the proper recipe from the North to the South and the East to the West. Turn offs are stale and moldy bread. Green peanut butter and moldy jelly. But when you are hungry and you don't have a choice, the standard peanut butter and jelly sandwich will bring a smile to almost any kid, grand kid, or aging grandparent. You will notice that in England or the United Kingdom, you won't find a person who know how to make a peanut butter n jelly sandwich. They think its gross. Enjoy life!

Re: [QUAD-L] Wheelchair Batteries at Auto Zone?
I remember was my first two wheelchairs (power wheelchairs of course) I used acid, deep cell batteries. I also remember a couple of occasions whereby active not want to wait to go through a vendor so I went to a local place called Battery World (in my area) to get them with no problem. Now, I have had my Permobil 10 years and 2 months now with gel cell batteries and have only had to have been replaced twice. But here is a *first (one of my batteries actually blew up on and out of the positive post therefore completely disabling the other one)* Here is the story: After coming home from Wal-Mart on Tuesday at around 5:30 pm, hubby I sat outside to enjoy the weather. I began to smell a very very very strong sulfuric rotten egg smell but hubby [Dave] could not smell it although he was only a couple of feet away from me. I thought it was from a vehicle or something and the longer I just sat there are quickly dissipated. Then, unexpectedly, a friend stopped about 10 minutes later and we came inside. I was talking to her in the living room and, again, I could smell that very strong sulfuric rotten egg smell but she could not smell it either. I was quite perplexed at this time since the smell was so very strong and I was only a couple of feet away from two people who did not smell it! Finally, after going to the kitchen for dinner and smelling it again (Dave could not) and then going to bed—Dave said it was coming from the chair. Dave could finally smell it by then because he was transferring me directly from the chair. Also, the chair began to chug, chug along as if I was running out of battery charge which could not be the case because I did not run it all that much and it was fully charged. We put it on charge after I got in bed but in only 60 seconds it showed that it was fully charged. The next morning (Wednesday) we called DEPENDABLE because they were the last to change the batteries in the chair *6 years ago.* We were so very fortunate for two new men to be working there (Joe and Andy) and at first they did not think it was the batteries but then decided it was. So they immediately ordered gel cell batteries and they were supposed to come from Phoenix and arrive on Friday. I am only two hours away from Phoenix. So I was looking at being in bed for an indefinite period of time if it was more than the batteries alone. This is because my hypersensitive body will not allow me to sit in any other chair without having bad AD problems, etc. On Friday when we called (today, later yesterday morning) — as usual someone had not done their job and the batteries did not arrive. They are now coming from California and are supposed to come in on Monday. ($...@! ers! The guy who was working on my chair today was Andy and was very very very nice and very accommodating. He has been in the business for 20+ years and said he has never seen batteries last 6 years (5 yrs -yes. 6 yrs - no) and wondering how we were able to do that. LOL. We told him there was no great secret and that I had been running the chair for miles taking Brandy on MANY MANY WALKS over the years and so on and so forth. He also thought that the chair itself was in very good condition for being 10 years old. Anyway, thank God that he had some gel cell batteries that had been sitting on the shelf that he put in the chair so that I could have them over the weekend so I did not have to stay in bed until Monday (hopefully when the new batteries arrive). The batteries are huge and did not exactly fit my chair but they WORK so that I was able to get out late yesterday afternoon and be able to be up over the weekend. I have been in bed since Tuesday evening and, without being able to move and with it being more work for Dave to take care of all my needs when I am stuck in bed, I am so thankful he had the extra batteries on hand that would work with my chair. Also, we found out that the guy (Andy) who just looked at the chair and ordered my batteries for me, etc this week used to work for another company (Apria) and had put my other batteries in 6 1/2 years ago! He even recognized his writing on part of the old battery! LOL In sum, that is the downfall of gel cell batteries. Can't just go pick them up somewhere and install them yourself. Especially with a Permobil power chair like mine. Lori On Thu, Mar 19, 2009 at 11:53 AM, wheelch...@aol.com wrote: Hi John, I would caution anyone considering wet cell batteries or anything less then gel batteries as a dangerous move. When replacing batteries, look at what you have already and copy the name, make, model, amperage and specifications. This way, no matter which brand is purchased the size, specifications, and amperage will remain the same. Most DME batteries are warranteed for 6 months. Auto Zone or Wal Mart may offer you a longer warranty term. Know what you are getting and know what your charger can handle. Do not exceed those perimeters. Best Wishes In a message
