 JP>> Any suggestions on how I can help him become more comfortable ??

        I spoke with a friend and he suggested that the feeling 
of coldness in the hands and feet are common when the body is not 
getting enough oxygen.  With quads, since we have low lung 
capacity this may be a contributing cause.  He suggested we could 
try some deep breathing routines to see if that would help.
