I'm in the Los Angeles area and it's 80 here today. Even though I'm spoiled with warm winters in my area I'm still like the rest of you and hate winter. But at least it's bearable here and never stops me from going out. I've been a quad for 24 years and one thing I highly recommend is moving to a warm state. Think California, Texas, Nevada, Arizona, and New Mexico. Being cold and miserable a few months out of the year is no way to live. I looked into a few financial areas of each of these states for a quadriplegic and found California offers the most benefits. If your unemployed and on Social Security you get Higher Social Security and SSI payment than most states. Medicare and Medical pays for all Hospital, Meds, Supplies, and Wheelchairs. Free In Home Supportive Services for caregiver. Lastly Section 8 housing. So come to California all of my fellow quad's. The door is open and it's warm outside...lol From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> To: RONALD L PRACHT <[email protected]> Cc: quad-list <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, March 8, 2015 2:54 PM Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] we made it! Yes hooray! Yesterday 40's, I sat outside on my patio for 2 hrs with just a sweatshirt & jeans on. I turned a little pink on my face, yeah! Today we had snow flurries coming home from church. Lindaf

Well guys, we have just about made it through another winter! Im so tired of the heaters, freezing, 3 shirts and all that jazz. Its time to get your batteries and tires serviced so you can get out there to the parks and enjoy things again. Haha Ive made through my 17th winter as a quad! Put some miles on your chairs.
