Miracles do happen. If I hadn't seen the pictures of him in the beach chair they offered I wouldn't have believed it myself.
This chair floats and when the water reached high enough he just slid out of it, into his wife's arms. It was so inspiring. The courage and determination he has, makes me (his sister) very proud.
Now, for a note on safety: The next morning, coming out from the non handicap rented motel room, (only one available) he started out over the open door threshold and his electric chair jolted him right out of it onto the concrete walkway, fracturing his hip and many areas of the leg. He didn't think to strap himself in his chair. That was really a heart breaker, but he is fine now 1 month into recovery, and ready to go back. Safety is always first and far most. Use the straps friends. Better safe than sorry.
Take care,

The pain doctors present observation is hmmmm. Like, what can we try now? I might not be a medical doctor but common sense tells me that when it comes to the Baclofen pump, stick with one med and gradually up the pill dosage or decrease if needed for other ailments. This is a gradual approach and can be slowly adjusted and sometimes stopped  immedietly if needed. It takes the usual waiting time for appointments to get these meds removed. Too long to suffer from the outcomes. It's been a roller coaster ride and I hope everyone will discuss these issues with their doctors before deciding on pain meds in the pump.
Take care,

I have tried pain management: Botox injection, chiropractor, acupuncture, etc. and still having the same problems.

Does anyone having the same problem like I do? What should I do now? Thank you so much in advance for your help.

Hello,

My name is Zack Morris and I am a trying to complete my senior project for pharmacy school. I am a T2 paraplegic and wanted to develop my project on something that would benefit others in my current situation. I am surveying individuals with a spinal cord injury to assess their knowledge on management of urinary tract infections including risk factors, signs and symptoms, prevention and treatment. Below is the link for you to access the online survey that should take less than 15 minutes to complete. Your participation is greatly appreciated and you will have three chances to receive a $100 gift card for you participation! I need to survey at least 100 people to provide an accurate project so please spread the word. Thank you for your help!
