6. Though not for me, hand controls for operating a car and available and many handicapped are capable of using them.
7. Thanks to the added mobility given me by the car, work at the hospital, visiting, shopping, dining out, etc. are all made possible.
c. The hours remaining after dinner and before bedtime are also spent in a variety of activities, such as preparing for class, entertaining, working on my latch hook rug or needlepoint (done with my teeth), typing and occasionally TV.
d. Keep drinking!

2. Bowel Program Day - The aim of this day is to get me up and functioning in much the same manner as we previously described for a work day, but with some necessary variations in procedure as dictated by this day's priority - the bowel program.
a. Preparation for the success of this function has been incorporated into our daily life style, i.e., diet, medication, etc.
1. Medication - Uricoline (a smooth muscle relaxer) which was prescribed for me as a result of an earlier bowel impaction and Colace (a stool softener).
2. Large quantities of fluid - I drink approximately five quarts daily. This serves the dual purpose of thoroughly flushing the urinary system.
3. At least three servings of fruit and fruit juice daily - I prefer to use a small jar of strained baby fruit as one serving and dried apricots or my allowance of dried prunes as a second serving. Fruit or vegetable juice makes the third serving. (Appendix IV)
4. A salad or fresh vegetable is included in at least one meal daily for bulk.
