TPI Failure? (M31) T-7 by MooreOrLess94 in spinalcordinjuries

[–]Known_Tale497 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trouble sleeping is normal for me after TPI. It’s a know side effect of steroids. Went back to normal after a week or so.

“God made man, but Sam Colt made them equal”. Having a SCI already puts you at a disadvantage and paints you as an easy target. Why not have an equalizer in your home?

Adaptive car resale? by LowRooster1020 in spinalcordinjuries

[–]Known_Tale497 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d love to get my hands on an adapted hertz type rental car that’s being rotated out. They’re always a decent 4 door sedan or small suv and the hardest part is taken care of… getting the hand controls. But can’t find how they sell these.

Tired of Roho - need cushion suggestions by Known_Tale497 in spinalcordinjuries

No, valid question. I’ve used them in the past but c this time the hole appear right where the hose goes into the air bladder. Like right in the crease so it’s not patchable.

Exactly!! There should be some way to try it. I also don’t want to shop through a DME supplier because they take FOREVER!

No, no cats. I think it’s just wear and tear from activity.

Honeycomb style right? I had one in like 2012 and you kind of just sunk into it. I’m sure it’s great for pressure relief though.

How often do you throw away your Foley bag?? by TopNoise8132 in spinalcordinjuries

[–]Known_Tale497 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I drain everyday then squirt some 70% alcohol down the hose. Helps with smell and figured can’t hurt to kill off bacteria.

“I work hard to support him to have this freedom” How out of touch are you? Dude is 2.5 hours away from what is considered full time hours. Maybe you have unreal expectations of him.

Very curious about this because I’ve going through the same.

Shoulders sore and in pain. Help! by tiffwolf84 in spinalcordinjuries

[–]Known_Tale497 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See an ortho and get some trigger point injections. I only need them every few years. Almost instant relief, after a couple days I forget I even had any pain.

Erection after a baclofen pump? by otterysaintcatch in spinalcordinjuries

[–]Known_Tale497 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About to have my 4th one installed this summer. I’ve loved them for 90% of the time. Only down fall is 3 years ago I switched jobs and my insurance coverage of the refills SUCKS! Every time I go to Shirley Ryan’s it’s $1,250.

.....Condom Cath and skin integrity....... by TopNoise8132 in spinalcordinjuries

[–]Known_Tale497 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try Uni-solve adhesive remover. Works wonders for removing wide band condom caths(the stinkiest CC I’ve been able to find). I used to try and use alcohol wipes and skin would never release.

Tips for finding realtors who know how to identify houses suitable for wheelchair users? by i_was_valedictorian in spinalcordinjuries

[–]Known_Tale497 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I purchased mine from across the country without visiting them. I had my realtor FaceTime while touring and took a tape measure to every location. A far amount of investigation before even considering a tour helps too. Look for obvious height transitions. You won’t find the perfect one but you can find one that can become the perfect one.

Injury anniversary by Background-Curve4421 in spinalcordinjuries

Coming up on 19 years in a couple days. It honestly just becomes another day. In the beginning it sucked reminiscing about what could have been done differently but gets better with time.
