Nothing wrong with adding info or disagreeing. Im just trying to make people
realize the able bodies judge us pretty harshly when you stick out with these
issues and others. I know......"who cares" . Well the truth is most of us do
care. The point really is don't let yourself fall into a routine that you go
out without regard. Like take a blanket , cut a hole in it and go out, lol.

many days i go without shoes in the summer...with my capris and painted
toenails. an abled body woman would wear flip flops, not much difference so i
beg to differ with you ron! i'll agree with the rest. i'll have you know i pay
$20.00 for those painted toes and i want people to see them. along with the
fact i find it hard to get sandals and flip-flops on my swollen feet.
The worst things the disabled do in public
1) no shoes
2) exposed urine bag
3) just plain dirty or have a stench
4) chair has food and scum all over it
5) legs fallen over to a side or bowed severely( especially on ladies)
6) scared to look people in the eye
Theres more,but that's what sticks out in my mind. I an say this because Im a
quad myself ......16 yrs post. We cant help many things , but some things we
can do something about.

funny. i put rolled up hand towels on both sides of my thighs. otherwise my
legs spread like men legs.

had to add my 1 inch wedge adductors to each side of the new cushion to keep my
long legs from bowing. I cant stand paralyzed people that let their legs bow or
fall to one side. It looks terrible and its fixable.

Have you considered contacting Jay and ask if they are looking for a very
qualified cushion tester?

I came in from my handcycle trip last night and was rolling around the house
when I looked at my hand and it was covered with this nasty yellow stuff. I
looked at the front of my cushion and at the bottom below the cover was a
massive amount of yellow crap. I jumped in bed with my new cushion and a trash
can and pulled the cover off the old cushion which had a hole in the front and
threw all the nastiness away then had to use rubbing alcohol to clean the stuff
off my seat sling. This was the second Jay 2 to do this to me. The last one
popped when a girl sat on my lap. I get about 4 yrs out of each one then boom.
The stuff that comes out is oil based and very hard to get off of your stuff. I
was home alone but managed to get the old one off and cleaned, and the new one
on. I also had to add my 1 inch wedge adductors to each side of the new cushion
to keep my long legs from bowing. I cant stand paralyzed people that let their
legs bow or fall to one side. It looks terrible and its fixable. A new Jay 2 is
going to cost me over 400 and an extra air exchange cover will be 65. Crazy but
that's how she goes in the handicap world. I need to put a new seat sling on
the chair but that's hard to do yourself and if you fail you have no chair, lol.
