digital stimulation info.

siglrm · 08-22-2002, 12:14 PM

I am a quadriplegic in need of a caregiver. I placed an ad in a local newspaper and received quite a few replies. Some were knowledgeable about bowel care while others were not, but were willing to learn.

Does anybody know where there is information available that describes how to perform digital simulation? I want to be able to train someone correctly so that it is effective without causing any damage.

If I had some information I could show someone during the interview, it would be less awkward.

Thanks.

When my son was in rehab, they sent home a bunch of tapes on his care, digital care was one. Call Craig Hospital, 303-789-8000 and ask for the reeval nurse. Good Luck!
