How well do you serve No. S'port, La. 71107?
I became paraplegic in, 2005. I have had to relearn my bowel schedule, as my spinal cord was damaged, over a 4 vertebra area and left me, with little to no feeling, from my chest down, thus no musculature. I have stayed at the Promise Hospital, for a few weeks, due to a blood problem and they taught me things i.e., the right times to use laxatives, as they are so easily over used, when other things are available, such as just time. Not having feeling, I still have feelings of urgency. Here, it's good? I am not too lazy. This stay at the hospital would be like home medical. If you let them decide, with doctors when and what even over the counter drugs you can have and when. They would need to know all drugs you take. You need to stop all drinking. Whether, you have home med or go to a home you have to stop drinking. It's bad for you. You can not mix with any drugs.
I am considering home care, if my wife lets me come home, I do not know. I will not be a burden on her, again.
I need to know? How much do you all do?
How much does it cost? Things I can not remember. Typical... Kelley
