Wheelchair Pity

Funny things happen to me in my wheelchair. Being a quadriplegic I slip a kind of large insulated cup onto my wrist to lift a drink to my mouth. I call it my cooler. Sitting outside of the Treasury Casino one night a woman came by and dropped a few coins in my cooler! I was a victim of drive by wheelchair pity! She must have thought I was some kind of handicap street beggar.

Bladder Washout

A bladder washout is a technique used to flush blood clots or debris from the bladder by pushing solution into the bladder and immediately draining. A bladder washout may also be performed when unable to drink enough fluids, or to rid the bladder of certain urinary tract infections.
