TRY TRANSFERRING TO THE BACK SEAT, IF YOU HAVE ONE.  YOU CAN RECLINE OR LAY OVER THERE, MAYBE.  ALSO, PICK YOURSELF UP FREQUENTLY AND LEAN SIDE TO SIDE.  I STOP EVERY TWO HUNDRED MILES OR SO JUST TO STRETCH - SO - SPEAK.   WHAT TYPE SEATING DO YOU HAVE.  I HAVE A QUAD ROHO THAT I CAN CHANGE PRESSURE POINTS ON THAT HELPS ME OUT.   BOB SPRING, TEXAS TM CLASS OF ' 94  T-1 PARA   This electronic message is confidential and is intended only for the use of the individual to whom it is addressed.

Leaving for Fla.from NY Oct. 14 in the new minivan - my husband will do most of the driving.  I dont know how I will sit so long but we will see.  My biggest problem is my rear end.  Because I lost alot of muscle tone in my glutes I am sitting on bone - no matter what I sit on.  Any suggestions from anyone?  Of course the bathroom issues are problematic but I know McDonalds has good handicapp bathroom facilities.  I will have to look for the golden arches and try not to eat too many French fries.     Glad to hear (well not so glad but you know what I mean) that there are others with dx of infarction.  I thought I was the only one whose dr. insists on that diagnosis.  He says it is not tm but is not 100% sure of course.     I too thought I was being electrocuted down my legs and could not move from my tush down.   Now, one year later I still cant stand without holding on but I can walk with the walker but am leaning on both hands. I do have enough use of my right leg to drive and it feels great to be behind the wheel again but of course I dont go too far alone.     Will let you know how the long trip went.         Take care all,  Rosalie
