Lines: 18 Approved: wtm@bunker.UUCP Fidonet: Spinal Injury Conference Index Number: 9995 Hi, I'm a C5-C6 quad and was wondering if anyone has suggestions about how to set up attendants while travelling. A friend and I would like to travel to New Orleans or New York for a conference next year. He's a friend from work and I don't want to impose too much on him. He's helped me to bed a couple of evenings, but I'm not comfortable asking him to do my morning care. What would be ideal is to make arrangements for a local morning attendant. Does anyone have some ideas about how I could set this up? I'm a little concerned about finding a good, reliable attendant since I'll be working on the trip. Thanks very much, Scott -- Scott Luebking {mtxinu,sun,pyramid,pacbell}!sybase!scottl scottl@sybase.com
