Guest guest Posted August 7, 2001 Report Share Posted August 7, 2001 Tom, I am so happy that they are taking care of finally! I know you would rather your health back but... At least now the financial burden is off your back and hopefully some of the stress too. My continued best wishes and prayers for you and your family.

They are also going to pay a salary to take care of me. We are in shock right now. They are also back paying me from when I filed the claim. Just wanted you all to know. I guess it does pay off making a lot of noise. God bless, Tom Please visit my website at: http://www.tomcolosimo.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 20, 2002 Report Share Posted March 20, 2002 , I bought 3 yards of lycra from the local fabric store (swim or dance suit material). Get some that feels sturdy as some are flimsy feeling. Mine is a zebra stripe pattern. I folded it in half and tied a knot in each corner so now you have a double layer of fabric. Some people sew it but it takes a long time and reduces some of the stretchiness. We suspended it from our basement ceiling using large eye bolts, carabiners and marine rope. We use marine rope because it has almost zero stretch to it (and my husband is a sailor). So, bring the knots together so you are making a snug hammock rectangle. Tie two of the knots together with a small length of rope about 8-12 inches long - and make a loop in the other end of the short rope. Do the same to the other side. Slip a carabiner thru each of the small loops at the end of the short rope. Now it is ready to hang from the ceiling using rope thru the eye bolts. I hope this makes sense or email me again and I will send a picture. By using the short rope pieces and the carabiners we are able to quickly change out the lycra swing for a trapeze bar, or sling swing. My kids are 3.5 (PDD) and 2.5(NT) and the swing will hold both of them. We have a mattress underneath and against the wall - one they're favorite games is to play 'wrecking ball' where we swing them and they crash into the mattress up against the wall. Any questions please ask and I will get back to you sooner.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 Re Duragesic patches, post-op sex I am 55 and had four spinal revisions between Feb. and May of this year. I find the smallest Duragesic patch helpful, supplementing it with oral hydrocodone/APAP (a Vicodin-type formulation). The patches do irritate my skin and fall off very easily. I rotate them each time and have found that paper tape is good for securing them because I am allergic to adhesive tape. Regarding post-op sex, I empathize with the concern that this might injure a recent fusion. I am not currently in a relationship myself, but when I was married and underwent my first adult fusion, the surgeon instructed me to wear my TLSO whenever we made love, at least for the first six months. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
