Re: My Frontier X5 x demo wheelchair
I spent some time yesterday trying out the chair, and am very pleased that it did much better than the Nomad from Global Extreme Mobility, and surprisingly did better in two places than did the Action Track-chair. This chair is amazing, capable of true off road performance that nobody in a wheelchai...

My Frontier X5 x demo wheelchair
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y60/Mylash/chair2_zpsbhb1tzgt.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y60/Mylash/chair3_zpsmgdpfh30.jpg The lift is 12 inches, and the tilt is 50˚ and there is no restriction in drive when deployed, which is somewhat scary. Useful, but scary. The weight setting in thi...

Sweat, blood and tears
Who would have thought that sweat, particularly upon one's posterior, could cause such unpleasant problems. My house does not have air conditioning, and the cost is prohibitive - the broken system would need removing, the destroyed duct-work also, then the purchase a new unit, installation of new du...

Re: At last, what I am
That would be a really good idea, especially for those with communication difficulties like myself. Having the list easily read by any would make all kinds of authority interaction a lot easier.

People
People have changed to something not nice, not yet totally unpleasant, but getting there. Once people were more open, friendlier, more eager to communicate, but now distant, preferring non-contact, separation. If you look at someone, they are shocked, whereas forty years ago, if you did not look at ...

At last, what I am
My insurance company, Cigna, decided to run a series of tests, interviews and assessments on me over the last two weeks, and yesterday, I got the report. In 1994, I was told I had hypoxic injury, resulting in acute hyperkinetic motion and severe spasticity, concurrent with chronic short term memory ...

Re: Different days, different problems
:evil: Last evening, my $28,000 wheelchair, the Permobil M300 HD broke spectacularly - the tilt mechanism that I use a lot, did something that now makes it fail when occupied but will tilt sideways and raise some of the way with no weight in it. I am wondering if the countless times the damn thing g...

Different days, different problems
yesterday, I could do quite a lot of things. Transferring was comparatively easy, eating was not particularly messy and speaking was very easy. Today transferring is almost impossible eating is chaos, and speaking it's very difficult. when this happens DragonDictate tends to make a tremendous amou...

Re: Workers and new driveways.
I made a terrible mistake - fell for the 'I gotta pay my men' line and paid before they finished the work - this was over a week ago, they ain't coming back, I paid 'em, they are off. They use straight talk cell phones, and have changed their numbers, so now I have a lot of unfinished work, and no w...

Re: My new track chair
I discovered, yesterday, Wednesday 1st April, that my disability was far worse than I had believed. I never do anything to push it, keep safe and don't take risks, so I thought I was doing good. However, that proved not to be the case, Wednesday April 1st.. A track-chair is like a bulldozer or a ta...

Workers and new driveways.
Ten years ago, the family who owned my home then stopped using the second driveway, that soon fell into ruin. Eight years ago, they tarmacked the remaining driveway. When I bought the place, the asphalt driveway needed serious repair, in the eighteen months since then it became much worse, so I call...

This monster goes easily over the mud I became stuck in three days ago. I can now explore without stress.

I overdid things
Yesterday, March 17th, I got stuck in the mud around my home, and tried for 91 minutes to get myself out. This over taxed my body, and the limited control and motion I had became worse. Today I can hardly move, everywhere aches, and I have little or no control over my fingers: The mud undid all of t...
