  regarding W/C ~ NOT good at all
  
  OK, here's the story.I went to my seating guy about 
  possibly ordering a new power chair. He told me about a new (6 months old) 
  recycling program for Medicaid recipients. I can order a brand new power chair 
  BUT they will send me what they have in their storage instead. For instance: I 
  could say I want a 2005Invacare Action and they will pull out of their 
  warehouse an Invacare Action and give it to me as my "new" chair regardless of 
  what year it was made! I can refuse it but the process is VERY long and 
  dragged out with no garentee's. AND once you accept the new or newer chair, 
  they come and take your old chair to be recycled. So now you don't have a back 
  up.
   My seating guy told me of a long time power w/c user that 
  order a chair and Medicaid sent her a 10 year old power chair! They can't even 
  fix it if something goes wrong with it because it's so old!
   My seating guy suggested since my other chair is 12 years 
  old that I should upgrade my "new" 5 year old chair including adding on a 
  tilt.
   So, that's the story in New Jersey's Medicaid wheelchair 
  recycling program.

  Consider order an option package only available on the 2005 
chairs. This way if you don't get a 2005, you might get a 2004-1/2 
or a mid-year chair.
  They would denie it. I already asked.

This Say's it All 


A Woman and a Fork There was a young woman who had been diagnosed with a terminal illness and had been given three months to live. So as she was getting her Things "in order," she contacted her Pastor and had him come to her house to discuss certain aspects of her final wishes. She told him which songs she wanted sung at the service, what scriptures she would like read, and what outfit she wanted to be buried in. Everything was in order and the Pastor was preparing to leave when the young woman suddenly remembered something very important to her. "There's one more thing," she said excitedly. "What's that?" came the Pastor's reply. This is very important," the young wo!
 man
 continued. "I want to be buried with a fork in my right hand." The Pastor stood looking at the young woman, not knowing quite what to say. That surprises you, doesn't it?" the young woman asked. "Well, to be honest, I'm puzzled by the request," said the Pastor. The young woman explained. "My grandmother once told me this story, and from that time on I have always tried to pass along its message to those I love and those who are in need of encouragement. In all my years of attending socials and dinners, I always remember that when the dishes of the main course were being cleared, someone would inevitably lean over and say, 'Keep your fork.' It was my favorite part because I knew that something better was coming...li!

So, I just want people to see me there in that casket with a fork in my hand and I want them to wonder "What's with the fork?" Then I want you to tell them: "Keep your fork the best is yet to come." The Pastor's eyes welled up with tears of joy as he hugged the young woman good-bye. He knew this would be one of the last times he would see her before her death. But he also knew that the young woman had a better grasp of heaven than he did. She had a better grasp of what heaven would be like than many people twice her age, with twice as much experience and knowledge. She KNEW that something better was
 coming. At the funeral people were walking by the young woman's casket and they saw the cloak she was wearing and the fork placed in her right hand. Over and over, the Pastor heard the question, "What's with the fork?" And over and over he smiled. During his message, the Pastor told the people of the conversation he had with the young woman shortly before she died He also told them about the fork and about what it symbolized to her. He told the people how he could not stop thinking about the fork and told them that they probably would not be able to stop thinking about it either. He was right. So the next time you reach down for your fork let it remind you, ever so gently, that the best is y!

 Hello Bobbie,
To bad you couldn't come to California for around Six Months. They are like that
here about replacing wheelchairs like New Jersey is. How baddoes your chair look
and what is needed for it to be nice again? If you could get a estimate on what it
would take to make it good for you and present it to Medicaid, it's a possibilty they
may change there tune and purchase you another chair. If they refuse replacement,
they ought to concider atleast making it reliable for you. I don't know your level of
Injury.

OK, here's the story.I went to my seating guy about possibly ordering a new power chair. He told me about a new (6 months old) recycling program for Medicaid recipients. I can order a brand new power chair BUT they will send me what they have in their storage instead. For instance: I could say I want a 2005Invacare Action and they will pull out of their warehouse an Invacare Action and give it to me as my "new" chair regardless of what year it was made! I can refuse it but the process is VERY long and dragged out with no garentee's. AND once you accept the new or newer chair, they come and take your old chair to be recycled. So now you don't have a back up.
 My seating guy told me of a long time power w/c user that order a chair and Medicaid sent her a 10 year old power chair! They can't even fix it if something goes wrong with it because it's so old!
 My seating guy suggested since my other chair is 12 years old that I should upgrade my "new" 5 year old chair including adding on a tilt.
 So, that's the story in New Jersey's Medicaid wheelchair recycling program.

Ok guys, 
Ive found several Kyocera 6035, does anybody know if their truly hands free? Best I can tell is you still have to push a button to hang up, I have no hand movement. What do you all have? 
Help! Silas

 Sounds good Mark. This is what I've been looking at. It's so damn
 expensive for a new smartphone.

 I had an old Kyocera that was "Totaly" hands free you just said "Phone
 on" twice and it came on and you said a name it was pretty easy and
 this was in the phone when I bought it. They sell for about $20 on
 ebay now.

 /*Subject:*/ [QUAD-L] Cell phones

 Ok quads, I need your help. I know this has been brought up before, so
 I'm sorry to bring it up again, but DAMN I want a cell phone. lol My
 parents have Alltel, so I want to be added to they're plan, but I don't
 see anything thats completely hands free. I've also looked at smart
 phones

(http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/devices/smartphone/americas.mspx),
 but I'm not sure if that would even work. I've heard that there is a
 special headset that will turn any cell phone into a completly hands
 free phone, but I haven't seen it. I want to contol dialing 
answering,
 use my calendar, phone book, and pretty much everything by voice.
 Anybody use anything different thats hands free? Thank you.
