    Back support ssytem

    Does anyone have any suggestions on what my wife can use for a back support system. We've tried a couple of different cervical collars, like the soft collar and the Headmaster. Her problem is back related, not just neck support. Any suggestions?

    the headmaster: anyone using it?

    We looked at the Headmaster and a couple of other neck braces. Nothing works for my wife. Her problem is back weakness. The two cervical collars she's tried only held her head up --- but with weak back muscles it really didn't get her head up where it should be. Any ideas from anyone about...

    PEG Care

    When my wife was released from the hospital after having the PEG put in the nurse gave us a lot of instructions and told us a person from Lincare would be in touch with supplies and more info if needed. Sure enough, the next day Lincare called and set up an appointment to come out for...

    PEG Care

    My wife had a traditional PEG -- she was told she'd be getting the button-type (Mic-Key tube). She was VERY upset over having the long tube. Also she had a lot of pain at the PEG site. Turns out that the PEG was very close to one of her ribs and was pushing up against that. Also it was way...
