Re: [QUAD-L] bed bags all day?

I also use a bed bag in my chair. I have a 4 point Velcro black wheelchair bag under my chair. It hides the bag great. I run the tubing inside my leg and then behind my knee into the bag. It gives me a better opportunity to wear shorts.. Before that I cut the connector off the tubing and

[QUAD-L] Permobil and H-A Modular Mouthstick

I'm meeting with a Permobil rep. this Friday. I'm curious about that switch you use Joan. Is it an actual switch or is it built into the electronics. I mean do you use your chin control to switch modes or is it an actual switch? Is it like a little click switch mounted on the bib? I've

[QUAD-L] Permobil Responses

Thanks for the Permobil responses, The Harness doesn't bother you Cullen or Joan? I tried it but I didn't like something around my neck and resting on my chest. I couldn't imagine wearing that for 12 to 14 hours a day. I've always used a swing away arm. I've never had a problem of

Re: [QUAD-L] Permobil

Thanks Cullen, I guess its all going to be big changes. I currently don't use my headrest, don't need a switch, no chest strap and that mode-drive display box is tucked down and out of the way. Back in the day head rests switches and control boxes looked bulky to me. The less visible

[QUAD-L] Permobil

Any Permobil users? I've always had an arrow or a storm. My new storm is not working out. I'm thinking Permobil C 350 corpus or the C 500 RS. Is there any advice you can give between these two. I know the 350 is rear wheel drive and the 500 is front wheel drive. They both say they can go

[QUAD-L] Expo

Reporting back from the Expo: I'd have to say I'm very disappointed. I've gone to the abilities expo on and off for the past 18 years. In the beginning, it had all the wheelchair companies, lifts, vans, and lots of entrepreneurs with new technologies. I remember they had a computer area

[QUAD-L] Backpacks

Testing. I keep getting booted off the list. I guess that's what I get from not posting so often... Anybody have a good backpack? Do you have the link? I see lots on line but some look to small for my invacare storm. I'm a complete c-4 quad. I don't really need it to be

Re: FW: [QUAD-L] bad chair

Hey Quadius, I'm in the same situation. I just got my new Invacare storm from the VAMC in Long Beach, Ca. I've been back and forth with them explaining its not going to work for me. The rep told me I'd sit lower and the chair wouldn't be as long as my old chair. This turned out to

Re: [QUAD-L] Quadius_Beds and Our Bedrooms

It's nice to have an adjustable bed. Craftmatic beds are expensive . If its a king size bed, its hard to do your care without a ceiling lift. Our solution was this: We bought an extra hospital bed from Invacare $695. Don't buy the rails. We took off the rails on my bed. We have

[QUAD-L] Check out Mobility Air Transport

It's about time. I'd be willing to try this. I've always thought it was against ADA wishes for us to have to get out of our chairs to fly. If the buses tried to do that to us, they'd get sued. I wonder what the prices would be like. In the picture, did they just pick the whole chair up?

Has anyone with an IMS conversion van have problems with the cargo door not closing all the way??? I bought a new dodge caravan in 2000. It was shipped off for modification. After 3 years, the door won't close all the way. They said it was a sensor.They fix it and it works for

Re: [QUAD-L] Specialty mattresses and bigger bed

I had this same problem Silas. I looked into a queen craftmatic adjustable. It's one way to go but there not that cheap and my care ismore difficult. It's harder to get dressed and put a sling under me when I'm in a larger bed. My caregiver has to reach over the bed more. My solution is

Re: [QUAD-L] Pepsi and Coke and SCI

I've heard carbonated drinks deplete calcium in the body. Causing brittle bones. Having an sci, you don't want to take calcium pills or add to much calcium to a diet. To make up for any calcium lost. Calcuim builds up causing stones in the bladder and kidneys.
