Thanks! I wonder too if I would have had to have a flap if I had been a properly in fitted chair. Tim

To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wednesday, August 6, 2008, 4:16 PM Congrats on your big two oh! Your better equipt than my DME. Any wheelchair sucks if it doesn't fit you right. I feel bad for all those years in the wrong seats. I've always been so bent they always had to custom fit the chair. I think most of the quads that are unhappy in their chair are not properly seated in a wheelchair that doesn't meet their needs. I've had to do 38 hours in a chair and if it had been some of the plain jane wheelchairs I've seen other quads in, I would have lost both butt cheeks. I hope you get some money for some of your old "booster " chairs and stuff.

Hey guys- I am cleaning house and getting rid of wheelchairs and things I no longer need; since tomorrow is my 20th anniversary and I am oh so tired of it, I am giving up on this quad shit (done with It).... ahahahaha!!!! I WISH. Seriously- I thought I would allow my quad friends dibs on this stuff I no longer want or need. First item is a "NEW" still in the box HP Roho Quadtro Select (16X16) cushion. Second item is a 16X16 Quickie 2 manual wheelchair in some what new condition. Third item is an Invacare Power 9000 electric chair (18wX16d); I cruised Oahu in this chair and it "rocks", it needs front casters, a battery and maybe a fuse. Fourth item is a Action Arrow Series electric chair (16X16) (I acquired this chair with the purchase of my new/used van), it has a Jay back with an attached adjustable headrest, the previous owner said one of the motors needs brushes, it appears to be in real good condition. Misc stuff up for grabs is; front casters for manual chairs, a couple of sliding/transfer boards. I think that is it? So if this stuff interests any of you, just shoot me an email and we can chat about prices, like I said I am cleaning house- so this stuff is priced to sell! Now I sound like some used car salesman. Anyway- after nearly 20 years I get measured for a new chair right, come to find out, I have been in a chair/chairs for someone much shorter than myself. I am now in a 16X18 Invacare X4- man, what a sweet ride. I have noticed positive posture and pressure changes, it sure has made a difference from being in a chair for someone 5 somethin’ and you are a little over 6’. Tim c5-c6, 20 glorious years tomorrow
