Question for high complete injuries?
I need The experience of injuries that have very limited arm function so very incomplete ( but not to incomplete) C4s or very very complete C5. I need to be very specific to get realistic accurate advice this means no hand function, no triceps, Little to no forearm/ wrist function ( supination, pronation\ extension, flexion ), and poor shoulder function meaning little to no joint stability and poor ROM ( not because of tightness or lack of trying actual lack of function causes, obviously primary use of manual chairs are not realistic ). OK I'm talking to you select few, even smaller Group to be in this category and to be knowledgeable on the subject not trying to be rude just the way it is. Have you or what do you do to actually have an intense or at least somewhat affective cardio exercise? FES, hand cycles and various other upper body exercises Tried em, the problem I have is my shoulders always fatigue or seize up before my heart ( cardiovascular system) actually starts getting properly exercised! Now I can grit my teeth through pain like the next guy, eventually if either becomes too much or I can tell I'm doing damage to the shoulder joint starts grinding or pulling in unnatural/ painful ways... Frig let me know if there is anything!

Seeking Clones, Seeds and Collaboration/Consultation on I502 grow (no flames please)
I've been a medical card holder for 10 years, growing only a small handful of strains indoors. When I502 passed my wife and I decided to apply for a producer license and I'm now in the final stage of licensing and anticipate a final inspection at the end of February. I'm in eastern Washington and will have an outdoor grow that also includes a 3000 square foot greenhouse to keep things going over the winter.
I've decided to grow 50% landrace strains and intend to maintain them while also doing some targeted breeding using the landrace as crosses (my son is a PhD plant geneticist and will be monkeying with the strains). I'd like to dedicate the other 50% to regional strains, with 5% dedicated to high CBD only.
I already have my landrace strains in hand--I'm reaching out to this community to find clones and seeds that I can bring in legally during the initial 15 day window. After that period I'll be restricted to whatever is available in the closed I502 system, and that appears limited (relatively speaking). So, if you have unique strains you are willing to part with, please let me know the details. I'm also moderately interested in autoflower seeds--in particular, regional PNW strains (which I also know are very limited).
On a related topic, I'd also like to find a person or persons who are available to consult, particularly during initial harvests, as I've never dried and cured anything more than about a plant at a time, and I'm a little intimidated in dealing with large quantities all at once. If anyone is interested in consulting, please PM me.

catheter is blocking
I do intermittent catheterism when I feel that my bladder is full. Usually the procedure goes without problems but lately it is blocking when I try to pull it out. It doesn't happen regularly so I didn't put to much attention into it. The problem is that it got blocked in the last two tries. Also, I got some sangue at the end of the catheter.
Unfortunately I don't know what to do. To put an indwelling catheter or to continue to do the catheterism procedure 3-4 times per day. Also I can empty the badder if I apply pressure on it, so urinary condom can be an option but I don't now if it is recommended.
Locking forward for your opinions.

Speccing out a new chair with a jay3 back. I think its just a mid thorasic so its small but I'm thinking it will bring my position forward so I have to spec the seat depth to accomodate it.

Update on my life;
There's a biography on my life that was published in 2003 when I was 16 called Sam: The Boy Behind the Mask. I'm that Sam. Here's an update 12 years later;
FIFTEEN YEARS AFTER MY COMA
Hello. My name is Sam Lightner. I turned thirty years old on October 6th of this year. In October of 2000, I managed to fall into a coma for 2 and a half months, waking up right around the start of winter 2000. I have now been alive almost as many years after my coma as I was alive before my coma. Honestly, I really don?t know why I?m still here today, and the coma is not the only reason I say that, but I am here, so I?m going to talk about it. The book, (biography about mine and my families life when I was born until the age of 16), ended with me going back to Grant High School in Portland Oregon in 2001. I graduated from Grant with the class of 2004 at age 18. It was my goal upon returning in September 2001 to not only graduate with my class of 2004 but to also walk on my feet across the stage with someone walking me. After 3 years of help from a physical therapist in the halls of Grant, I walked across the stage with help from one of the girls from the class of 2004. I was going through physical rehab and had a whole year of work to make up but I managed to earn a regular degree in those 3 years. After I graduated, I went to PCC?s South East campus for about 2 years, taking half of a credit-load. I didn?t know where I was headed so I dropped out at age 20. I managed to stay away from drinking in high school but the same year I dropped out of PCC, I also discovered alcohol. (The two events weren?t related.) For whatever reason, I really dug getting totally wasted and making an ass of myself. It got freaking ridiculous at times too? The drinking is partly why I said earlier the coma is not the only reason I say I don?t know why I?m alive today. In April 2008, when I was 22, my dad was diagnosed with terminal liver cancer. He passed on June 2nd, 2008. It was really hard on me and my family. At the same time, we?d been watching him get worse since about mid-May. I think it was a bit of a relief to know he?s no longer suffering anymore. His passing didn?t really cause me to drink anymore? I?d say I was drinking too much already, which is not at all the image I wanted my dad to leave with about me, but that?s the way it happened so I get to live with that burden. In 2010 I decided to take a few more classes, this time at PCC?s Cascade campus. That worked out for a while but in the summer of 2011, I dropped out because I felt like I was wandering aimlessly. I also wanted to start receiving help from a psychologist since dealing with my disabilities was becoming more difficult than in years past. I started seeing a psychologist in the summer of 2011. A move in which I wish I would have made earlier. It was decided that moving out on my own would be the best option so I applied to live in a subsidized apartment complex for disabled citizens out in Gresham. I waited on a waiting list until July 2013 and on July 3rd I moved in. In late July 2014, my mental health had declined to the point that I had to be admitted to the mental ward of OHSU for 8 days. I was really questioning my existence because I was 28 and didn?t know where my life was going. I was sent home on psychoactive drugs but had to be re-admitted to the hospital in October because I was still having questionable thoughts.That time I was there until mid-November. Since then I?ve just been hanging out in my apartment. Still trying to figure my life out, just not having questionable thoughts. I?m talking to my case manager and my psychologist and am looking for what I can do. Right now, since about late July, I've really been waking up from where ever I?ve been for the past year. One thing I really want to do is get into public speaking so I figured this would be a really good place to start. As for the drinking, I slowed way down in 2012 and stopped in 2013. Today though I go to the bar sometimes and occasionally will buy some whisky. I also have smoked marijuana off and on, mostly on, for about 8 years. (And this is Oregon so that's kinda cool.) Anyway, I find it helps me with relaxing and just being happy. I?ve been told by a few people that it likely contributes to my anxiety and paranoia. I?m not going to say that?s completely wrong, but I also don?t think that?s the primary cause of the anxiety or paranoia. I think my medical past has caused way more damage than marijuana can or has or ever is going to. And besides, it?s my life, I?m 30 years old, I don?t really know how I made it this far in life but I did, so I really just want to smoke my marijuana and enjoy myself. Summing up today, I am writing this today to let you know that I am still here and, like I said above, I?m doing the best I can with what I have. I am also writing this because I need to do something different. I?m hoping sharing my story will help get me out of the dark some. Thank you for listening!

Best disposable leg bags with backup prevention?
Recently due to insurance changes it seems like all leg bags I've tried have a problem.
Some issues:
- broken valves
- vacuum like suction that doesn't allow fluid to naturally flow thus backing up
- broken or poorly manufactured anti backup pieces
I'm finding that no matter what I do gravity isn't helping to create a natural flow. I have several backups on the low count every week leading kidney pain and UTI. I'm taking this issue of urine backup very seriously. I also have the issue of urine creating gas most likely from bacteria and the closed system.
Any advice on best bags with anti reflux devices?

Free AC/DC clones, tested at 24:1
Hey all, every month or so I have a couple of AC/DC clones that I will donate for free to people that need it. All I ask is that you come to me (I'm in Bellingham), and continue to give her to those in need.
I had this tested (blindly) and here are the results, keep in mind that this particular sample was given indirect light so the numbers have room for improvement.
PM me if interested.

Prolonged Muscle Spasms Without Rehab Power Wheelchair
Hi all,
For the past year and a half I've been without my (rehab) Permobil power wheelchairs. Prior to having a rehab power wheelchairs. I never had muscle spasms. The Permobils I had allowed me to relieve spastic activity (that came along with growth spurts for the past 13.5 years). When I did have a way to independently relieve these spasms (eg through standing, reclining, and tilting the seat back in the wheelchair), along with anti-spasm meds (Baclofen 20mg. 4.5x a day), they went away. Now that I've been in my manual wheelchair (with the inability to release my spasms) they have increased. My Ortho/Rehab physician has put me on a low dosage of Diazepam (5mg. 2x a day) to hopefully help the increased spastic activity, even with increased meds the muscle spams are frequent in all four limbs at different times. I know this sounds crazy, but can muscles become accustomed to a set schedule of independent relief and retaliate if not?
Thanks for your input!

Twin Cities Doctors Receive Grant To Study Promising Therapy For Spinal Cord Injuries
January 28, 2016 5:15 PM
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) ? A breakthrough therapy for spinal cord injury patients just got a big boost here in Minnesota.
A state grant was just awarded to researchers at the University of Minnesota and Hennepin County Medical Center to study epidural spinal cord stimulation.
The therapy utilizes a device implanted along the spine that sends an electrical impulse. Clinical trials in other states showed people were able to move their previously paralyzed muscles.
Leslie Jablonski is with the BEL13VE In Miracles Foundation, and the mother of Jack Jablonski. Her son became a quadriplegic after he was injured during a high school hockey game 4 years ago.
?It?s just so obvious that this epidural stimulation implant is the way to go,? she said.
Jablonski says she?s excited about what research in other states has revealed about epidural spinal cord stimulation.
?I?m talking about body temperature regulation, bladder and bowel function, sexual function, hand movements?? she said. ?Some people have been able to take steps ? stand and put weight on their feet.?
Soon, doctors at the University of Minnesota and HCMC will be implanting stimulators in spinal cord injury patients and observing them.
?An epidural stimulator, you can put anywhere in the spine, depending where you would want to maximumly stimulate,? University of Minnesota neurosurgeon Dr. Ann Parr said. ?But definitely, you would want to put it below the level of the injury.?
Instead of delivering anesthesia to reduce the pain of childbirth, this epidural would deliver electricity to excite the nervous system.
?Not only will it improve their function when it?s turned on, the amazing thing is that after you have this implanted for a while, when you turn it off again, you still have some improvement of function,? Dr. Parr said. ?That?s pretty incredible.?
Matthew Rodreick is with the Get Up Stand Up To Cure Paralysis Foundation.
?There are a number of states that have passed legislation to fund spinal cord injury research,? he said. ?The places where we?ve seen innovation happen are the states that have funded to expedite the research.?
Last year, the Minnesota state legislature approved the funding for the research grants, which are specifically for spinal cord and traumatic brain injury research. It?s $500,000 per year, divided among four recipients ? $125,000 each.
The Mayo Clinic is conducting separate research on spinal cord injuries, and the Jablonski family?s Believe in Miracles Foundation is offering financial support to those studies.
Jack Jablonski is now a college student at the University of Southern California. His mom says his upper body strength is beyond what they expected ? he can move his arms and fingers to some degree and he can text, but he still has no leg movement.
Leslie Jablonski hoping these additional clinical trials will speed up FDA approval for the epidural therapy.

Door Opening Assistive Device
Hey all! I don't want to take up too much of your time but I'm part of a group of Mechanical Engineering students at Purdue University that is looking to design a simple product that will help paraplegics and quadriplegics open non- automatic doors at commercial or public buildings. One way that we have decided to collect data for our project is through a survey. If any of you could take some time to simply fill out our survey it would be very helpful for our future reports about our product. The survey is only four multiple choice questions and should take less than a minute to complete. I completely understand if any of you do not wish to take the survey as they can be annoying. Additionally, if any of you have any feedback about the survey itself please let me know. I tried my best to keep the questions straight forward and sensible but if you feel any of the questions are unfair, offensive, unproductive, ect please let me know! Again, my team and I are extremely grateful for your participation. Thank you so much!

Advice needed: Evacuation Chair
Hi everyone,
My employer is looking to purchase an evacuation chair in case of a fire or emergency where the elevators don't work. Does anyone have any suggestions? The one's that I've seen so far don't look very sturdy and probably won't fit the need for both a para and a quad. They're looking for something that would work for a wide range of wheelchair users.
Thanks!

for those who live in a non-accessible apartment.....
I am needing a little help in regards to how all of you are able to get in the bathroom in a non-accessible apartment. I am trying to make my apartment more wheelchair accessible (I could wheel around, but it was a tight squeeze before), but I am having trouble adapting the bathroom to where I don't have to transfer onto the toilet and push my wheelchair out the door in order to close the bathroom door to take a shower. I have no choice but to close the bathroom door when taking a shower, because there is a smoke detector right outside the bathroom door that goes off due to the steam from the shower if the door isn't closed.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make the bathroom more accessible in an apartment? I'd go to a different apartment in our apartment village, but none of the 2 bedroom ones are handicapped accessible.

Permanently on vent?
Anthony was admitted to the hospital last December because pneumonia in his right lung. I can't remember if they sent him home with a course of antibiotics but they did send him home with a nebulizer and albuterol to be taken for 14 days. Because he was having such a hard time breathing in the hospital they did put him on a vent just for some support to ease his breathing so he could have a easier healing time while in the hospital then removed it and he came home. He does not use oxygen or a vent at home he has a trach but is usually just open stoma.
January 6th he was again having a hard time breathing at home and we took him to the ER after many hours they found that he was losing blood somewhere and after several days found out he had a duodenum ulcer and had to have surgery. By that time he had over 12 units of blood transfused by the time they got to the surgery he again had to be on the vent for just some support they found ecoli in his sputum and also had a uti. They had given him tons of fluids and with that and all the new blood he had edema everywhere again he had to be put on the vent for just support because it was hard to breathe until some of the edema went away.
He was released from the hospital Saturday January 26th yesterday again he had hard time breathing we brought him to the ER today they have seen that he still has fluid in his right lung and swollen hand and legs and feet they are saying they're not really considering it pneumonia but lots of fluid again they put him on the vent for just some support for the hard breathing
I'm going back and forth with the doctor though because the doctor is telling me that history with spinal cord injury patients is their muscles can get weak for their lungs because of atrophy and Anthony could possibly have to be on the vent permanently. I have never heard of this he has never had a problem with breathing until all these issues came up is there such a thing as a spinal cord injury patient just losing muscle tone and having atrophy and therefore having to go on a vent. He is complete c4,5,6 and has been since 2003. His left diaphragm was always weaker than the right and is higher. I cannot believe this Dr is telling us this. Some advice would be appreciated.

What Pres. candidate is most likely to be aware of sci and fund the NIH?
I think this is a very important question and I do believe that it belongs in the cure section.
I feel we all need to think about who most likely fund the NIH? I'm interested in opinions & facts and why people would support a certain candidate that may or may not fund research. Please keep this discussion about research and policy.
If we look at her actions, Sec. Clinton attended the first pro SCI research rally organized by CCers and 'Cure Paralysis Now' in 2005. Her husband helped to double the NIH funding. She was a friend of Christopher and Dana Reeve. Do other presidential candidates have a background supporting research? Please enlighten us with facts.

Twins have arrived
outkastsl, on 21 Jan 2016 - 09:05 AM, said:Our twins were born 11/9/2015 at 5:01 and 5:04AM, 4lbs 11oz and 4lbs 3oz at 34 weeks and 6 days. They had a short 1 week stay in the NICU and Evelyn and Elliot are now 11 weeks old.
I also wanted to share some information about the equipment I use since I'm a T7/T8 compete para. I built a small table and use a changing pad on it so that I can easily roll under and be able to change diapers. I'll try to get a picture for this soon.
I've tested out a bunch of double strollers and the best one for me was the Uppababy Vista with the Mesa car seats It can accommodate two car seats and eventually two toddler seats. This was the easiest to push and break down to put in our car. This stroller and car seat combo was also the easiest to release and lift the car seat out of the stroller base because there is only one button to depress. When the car seat is attached to the car seat base in the car, It also has one latch to remove from the base. http://ift.tt/1aXYlDf
I tried to use my wife's ErgoBaby carrier, but it was too bulky and too difficult to put on so I looked for another solution. I found the Infantino Breathe baby carrier and it is very simple to put on. I figured since I'm in a wheelchair, I don't need the extra support able bodied parents need. I put it on like a backpack, but backwards, slide the baby in and have two plastic clips to secure the baby in. I have the back straps adjusted so it is loose enough for my baby to be "seated" on my lap. Very comfortable and easy to use.
http://ift.tt/205pSvN
For the most part that's all I really use. I use a normal crib and have learned out to pick up my children with one hand and have yet to drop them. What I do is lay them on their side facing my right hand, my thumb on their chest, and my hand spread over their back and neck, then lift. I do this to get them out of the crib and their rock-and-plays. I have big hands so this is easy for me, I'll try to get a video for this so you guys have a better idea of what I'm doing.
We also used a Arm's Reach cosleeper that worked great until the twins got too big and we moved them into the crib. It can convert from a bassinet to a cosleeper with one side lower so that its easy to access from a wheelchair or bed in both configurations. We had it at the foot of our bed for the first 4 weeks and I can scoot forward and take care of a crying baby. it can easily break down into it's on carrying case for trips or grandma's house, but for the twins, they outgrew it and we didn't want to carry two of these around, we do have two that a friend with twins gave me. http://ift.tt/1h64dz4
We are planning on buying a Joovy Room2 playard pack and play for when we travel or drop them off at grandma's house. It's a square pack and play with extra room, I saw someone on youtube with twins and this was very convenient for them. Since you are having a singleton, a normal pack and play will be sufficient for your needs. http://ift.tt/205pSvR
When wheeling inside the house, I cross one leg over and place my baby across my lap. My leg becomes a barrier so they don't roll off. I don't use any boppies when I feed them. I just lay them across my lap and support the neck/head with one hand and feed with my other hand.
Being a twin parent is exhausting, I'm still learning how to adapt to it as a para, but I feel I have things under control...UNTIL THEY CRAWL! That will be another challenge, lol. Here are some pictures, I'll try to update this thread with pictures of the changing table, the stroller, and my baby carrier. Hopefully this thread will be helpful for other new parents with a singleton or twins.
If you have questions on how I manage certain things, feel free to ask.

constant heat rashes
I had surgery in August 2015 to remove my bladder and have a total hysterectomy, including removal of my ovaries. Ever since I was taken off of my HRT due to a blood clot in my lung, I have been experiencing night sweats badly. These night sweats have been causing bad heat rashes over my butt and has also caused skin breakdown once. Due to having 2 ostomy bags on my abdomen, its very uncomfortable for me to sleep on my sides now, so I have no choice but to sleep on my back all night long. I sleep with cotton pajamas and cotton sheets on my bed, so I know that this stuff breathes.
Does anyone have any tips on how I can remedy this problem?

Safe to use Bullets or Enemeez everyday?
I do my bowel program every other night, I use a bullet, but have considered switching to Enemeez, and it takes about an hour. I go a lot in that time. I'm considering switching to an every day program. I already shower every night. I'm hoping if I go every night, it would reduce the amount of time it takes to finish, and the big bloated feeling I often feel the day of my bowel program. So is it safe to use a Bullet or Enemeez everyday?
Thanks

Air Mattress and Bed ideas
I currently have a Span America hybrid type bed and hate it not only have had multiple issues just isn't comfortable, I know comfort isn't reason I need it but think it is as important as the trying to prevent sores. I seen one at a trade show that had a hand control to the unit which honestly would be cool feature to have since I live alone if have trouble rolling I can use the assist button. But I am looking for full air bed this hybrid which is part air part foam still getting sores on my heels which got better( VA sent me a bed to short and there fix was a foam block and it had no pressure relief to it. I am 6'6" if I stood up and still find times my heels rest on foot board( non removable foot board was going to take a saw to it) thank you for any help before I go to insurance I want real word experiences or reviews from others that are happy with the beds they use.

Gabapentin versus Gralise
Hi I'm a C5-C7 walking quad of 15 years. I've dealt with nerve pain for the last 12 years and have had previous success with 25 mg of amitriptyline to more or less keep the nerve pain in check. However the side effects made me feel fatigued and sleepy most of the time so I stopped taking it and started taking gabapentin instead. I have found that 300 mg taken four times a day is the most effective dose without going further up. However I have noticeable short-term and long-term memory loss specifically short-term. Also I find that my cognitive function as far as rapid retrieval of words phrasing or thinking quickly has also suffered at this dose. My neurologist suggested trying Gralise 600 mg twice daily. He said that because it's time released the side effects shouldn't be as bad as there are no spikes in the release of the medicine.
I would greatly appreciate it if Dr. Wise and the forum nurse would be able to chime in as well as anybody else with any experience between the two medications. Would the memory loss and other cognitive impairments be better on the time release Gralise version of the medication albeit at the same dosage? Secondly does Gralise have the same tolerance building effects as regular gabapentin, where over time more is needed to have the same effect? Also is there any risk towards memory loss over long-term use?
Thanks in advance

T7-T12 incomplete, lumbar w/o fracture, ces
Not sure where to post so if this is the wrong spot please either move it or tell where it needs to be thank you also sorry sort of long
In 2011 I was injured while working a Firefighter Paramedic. I was originally misdiagnosis do to having prior low back injury. So has been pretty rocky adventure. Also because I have a medical background I knew how to hide the things that made me super embarrassed to have like bladder and bowel incontinence I was scared because I didn't know what was going on and wanted to go back to work after my military career being ended do to an injury I was determined to go back but with my right leg not working I know now was the signed deal also the incontinence doesn't help. In 2013 I got a proper assessment before that I had 3 lumbar surgeries ACL MCL on my knee rehab for that but still had no feeling mid chest down they found out about being incontinent but other issues I hid I sort of had an idea. A friend told me to go see the va they have great sci care so I was seen at the VA SCI and that's where I was diagnosed but do to outside docs they wouldn't take over care. so I worked to have them removed I was forced to retire it all went to crap. I have gone through still go through deep dark depression. while moving stuff over VA got me my own chair, a ramp, hospital bed, paid for my diapers and the stuff needed for that properly, and bunch of other stuff. So here I am younger male SCI incomplete b & b incont requiring diapers which that is still learning curve, my left leg works some days and others just like the right just dead no use no feeling or sensation lost. if this wasn't a lot in 2014 I was referred to the SCI unit for care by 13 different doctors each time I was routed somewhere else because my injury wasn't service connected they wouldn't see me so already on edge I went off on the head of the SCI unit to point of using some terms that could be viewed as racism because he was middle eastern(being a Marine doesn't make it right but given where I had been but also know I have worked with many and know the difference) and I was angry at the world well that didn't help after that meeting they deleted my SCI out of active problem list but not the records themselves so I have to show new docs the proof I have a SCI which is a pita. But here is the kicker still having VA care I got a new chair new AFO and other braces. the biggest one that gets me is to retire I had to see 4 independent docs all of which signed off saying I had a SCI. Oh gets better in 2015 Got pneumonia again this time really bad [unable to lay flat unless intubated basically RSI'd do to extreme back pain to point I fight to get upright even if medically sedated so for CT's need to lay on side medicated and slightly elevated I can tolerate it somewhat] pulmonary said I had micro PE or clots in my lungs, at this VA 4th year residents are allowed to work as full doctors with no supervision unlike other hospitals 4th year has a senior attending doc over seeing them they refused to treat the clots also had issue with bradycardia low heart rate they overlooked the treatment bad enough I left ama well they knew I still had a doc I trusted at their hospital they were doing there residency at they accessed my records there falsified records and committed a HIPPA violation(they no longer work at either hospital) but because of this I wasn't treated at other hospital month goes by breath got worse went to civilian hospital diagnosed with a major PE and bradycardia unknown reason treated through Sept and issues with my heart rate got to a point I was passing out more often went back to hospital end up getting a pace maker do to my SCI triggering my Vagus nerves it solved the issue but this civilian hospital because I needed full nursing care for 8 weeks do to not being able to use my left arm in fear I would rip out electrodes from pacer to my heart they couldn't send me to a nursing home because of past medical history which includes TBI, SCI both excluded me from nursing home rehab so was transferred to the VA for rehab which after few weeks of false accusations( they were covering there buts because they missed my PE and didn't treat my low heart rate properly so tried to say it was all my fault and I caused self harm to get a pacer all lies they even stopped my blood thinners and pain meds) all of this my stress and depression kicked in I was well enough but also didn't care what happen to me I left the VA AMA. In Nov about month after all this I had to go to another VA for testing for my service related injuries well I been having chest pain and diff breathing for about 2 weeks after I left the VA but just didn't care bad enough I was taking numerous nebs just to breath so I show up to this appt. not being able to breath clinching my chest. I was sent to there ER I had another really bad PE but this time this VA being not related to other treatment was the best I ever got. While there I met with there SCI people they reviewed all records and saw what happen they offered to take over my SCI and going this week for the first evaluation I have had since originally being diagnosed.
know it long sorry
but issues I have is depression, anxiety, nightmares from my military ptsd, have contemplated SI but won't because my service dog keeps me alive, but here I am a young man 35 I can't do manly tasks I suffer from ED as well as the incontinence so not only have to wear use diapers I can't get erections what girl would ever love me I live alone in a death trap of a home on good days with breaks I can use crutches to get around on bad days my chair doesn't fit in home so I crawl. I can't use my shower because not accessible so sponge bath when I can with wipes. laundry I have a delivery service but other things its painful to rely on others for but there are things I need and know I do but mentally I can't like I know I need a PCA but mentally it is like given up or loosing what independences I have I know having that means no more pressure sores or lessens them and I won't have to drown myself in deodorant so I don't smell. I am so lost there are days I do want to end it all but my dog looks at me and I can't do that to him. I drink very heavily. I have thought of returning to work part time as a medic but that makes me so nervous because I am still anxious about being in public I was doing a half marathon on my handcycle at Disney and had a person that was with my group point out to me I was leaking want to talk about stress and anxiety try being soaking wet in the middle of epcot she helped me to there medical station and was able to change there but couldn't look at her or anyone for rest of weekend( I have since apologized and she said she understands she has been there for many vets and seen worse but she knew it would of been worse if others saw me and she even covered for me). I have many other issues and not sure what to do a friend told me I should go to a support group but even though I know there will be others like me there I am embarrassed to go. My problem is when I look in a mirror I don't see the guy that once was there I once was a badass Marine then Firefighter Paramedic also a bagpiper now I see a useless person I don't see a man because the things that define that don't work also things I deal with no one I know deals with it I can't ask for help because my friends don't deal with incont issues or other para life altering things
Up till my pain meds were stopped which I hope this SCI eval will help get them back but was sort of getting hang of adaptive sports. I have found it is easier to do military related sports I was golfing, handcycling, sailing but without meds the pain is to much even my activity level at home has been decreased and my health is at risk I currently have a presser sore seeing would care Thursday. just have times of deep dark depression I don't even want to go to that appt even though I been helped before undressing and exposing or having others see me diapered then having to see me naked yes they do it all the time but doesn't make it easier. it has been asked if I want to get a poop bag and pubic cath but because my immune system is crap surgeries are big risk.
In 2011 I was injured while working a Firefighter Paramedic. I was originally misdiagnosis do to having prior low back injury. So has been pretty rocky adventure. Also because I have a medical background I knew how to hide the things that made me super embarrassed to have like bladder and bowel incontinence I was scared because I didn't know what was going on and wanted to go back to work after my military career being ended do to an injury I was determined to go back but with my right leg not working I know now was the signed deal also the incontinence doesn't help. In 2013 I got a proper assessment before that I had 3 lumbar surgeries ACL MCL on my knee rehab for that but still had no feeling mid chest down they found out about being incontinent but other issues I hid I sort of had an idea. A friend told me to go see the va they have great sci care so I was seen at the VA SCI and that's where I was diagnosed but do to outside docs they wouldn't take over care. so I worked to have them removed I was forced to retire it all went to crap. I have gone through still go through deep dark depression. while moving stuff over VA got me my own chair, a ramp, hospital bed, paid for my diapers and the stuff needed for that properly, and bunch of other stuff. So here I am younger male SCI incomplete b & b incont requiring diapers which that is still learning curve, my left leg works some days and others just like the right just dead no use no feeling or sensation lost. if this wasn't a lot in 2014 I was referred to the SCI unit for care by 13 different doctors each time I was routed somewhere else because my injury wasn't service connected they wouldn't see me so already on edge I went off on the head of the SCI unit to point of using some terms that could be viewed as racism because he was middle eastern(being a Marine doesn't make it right but given where I had been but also know I have worked with many and know the difference) and I was angry at the world well that didn't help after that meeting they deleted my SCI out of active problem list but not the records themselves so I have to show new docs the proof I have a SCI which is a pita. But here is the kicker still having VA care I got a new chair new AFO and other braces. the biggest one that gets me is to retire I had to see 4 independent docs all of which signed off saying I had a SCI.

wine to lower blood pressure?
I read somewhere that red wine might help lower blood pressure. Anyone tried this? I don't want to make annoying dietary changes, I don't like taking medication, and I can't really exercise - but I definitely like wine, so it's a win-win if it works.

Flying in a private plane
Hello,
Has anyone ever flown in a private plane?
The one where the door flips down and use the stairs to get in. I am wondering how you would be able to transfer into that sort of a plane?

Options for indoor roller training with Racing Chair?
Hi all,
I'm going to be buying a Top End Racing Chair and wanted to know what was the most cost-effective way to do quality indoor training? I see that Top End sells a roller trainer specifically designed for the chair but it comes out to about $800-900. Is it easy enough to make your own trainer? Does anything suffer performance wise (resistance?) as a result? If any of you have experience with that and can suggest tips re: design it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Cushion after pressure ulcer
I have used a deep Contour gel cushion for 10 years and it has prevented pressure ulcers. I recently got a pressure ulcer and am having trouble getting rid of it. It was healed completely then it reopened. I am going to check myself into the hospital to get it finally resolved. After it is healed should I stick with the gel cushion? Someone told me I should go to an air cushion since I am having problems.

Introducing Purple Pineapple Express by Annunaki Genetics
This is my newest creation that I've been growing out for a while now... Purple Pineapple Express.
Its parents are:
Pineapple Express female
and a Huckleberry Hound male (female pictured)
I found 4 phenotypes...
Phenotype #1 is a green, bushy phenotype and looks similar to Pineapple Express. Highly resinous and has a sweet, pineapple and citrus aroma with slight coffee and pine nuances. Finishes around 60 days.
Phenotype #2 is the fastest finishing phenotype- around 56 days. Bushy plant with abundant leaves, and large (mostly) purple buds. Mild smell.
Phenotype #3 is nearly identical to #2, only it goes a few days longer (around 63 days) and is a more generous yielder. Solid purple buds with a mild aroma.
Phenotype #4 is the most resinous of the bunch! It is so frosty that it looks like the trichomes have trichomes. It is the last one to color up, but it eventually will with cooler temps. This phenotype is not as bushy as the others, and the buds appearance resemble Pineapple Express when its at its absolute best, only more frosty! The buds have a Pineapple earthy smell, grow somewhat slow in veg, and is a medium- large yielder.
They are all keepers, but I am continuing to grow out phenos #3 and #4 in my garden. For anyone interested in acquiring these I will have cuttings available.
Thanks for looking!
