[QUAD-L] Any of you folks had L level discectomies and fusions?

[Carolyn Boyles]

Haven't had the MRI done yet. I'm completely fused at the other end, but 
I may be facing L-level surgery. What should I expect in terms of loss 
of movement etc if I have to have it done? I've already lost the finer 
coordination of choosing where I put my feet. We also don't know if the 
problem is related to the SCI or the TBI.


Any advice would be appreciated. Lovely thing to have 22 years post 
injury esp when I need shoulder replacement surgery.


Thanks.

Carolyn

[QUAD-L] Pre pay smart 邏 phone

[Bobbie Humphreys]

Dose anybody know, or have, a pre pay smart phone?
I'm in the market.

How do you physically handle these phones, I find them very slippery.
That's why I've had a flip phone  for many years because they don't slide out 
of my hands so easily.

I haven't been able to find anything about the current version of the bill 
doing so. There have been so many revamps and revisions of the bill and it's 
still constantly being changed and argued over..Carolyn

[wheelchair]

When calling Invacare, make sure you have the serial number and name of the 
 provider.  Also the parts ordered and status.

Something  smells rotten in your area. Did you call and ask the issue.  Are 
the  parts backordered or were they late in ordering, because some 
employees only  work 32 hour weeks.  You have the right to know the part 
numbers as 
well.  You can call the manufacture to determine if the part numbers are in 
or  backordered.
 
It is  also possible that your provider is on credit hold, due to slow or 
lack of  payment.
 
You  can work behind the scene to get all of your answers and perhaps, 
faster  service.

MK  batteries are both expensive and the best, when treated right.  The  
failure rate on those imported China Batteries have a very high failure rate  
and only a 6 month warranty.  Make sure you place a note or sticker on  each 
battery, as to when it was installed,  then hold your provider's  feet to 
the fire.

The chair shop just sent a guy  out to check my chair, to see why the 
batteries are not holding a charge.  I get about 3 to 4 miles. I use to go 8 
miles fine. I do not think he knew  his butt from a hole in the ground. All his 
answers were “Charge it  longer, needs 12 hours a day” I've been in a chair 
34 years, never charged  it 12 hours a day and I wet 13 miles one day. Just 
got new batteries 2 ½  months ago. He did no real testing other than an 
Amp? Meter. They will  replace the batteries, and hope its that. Hope its not 
the chair draining  them for some reason. I'd like to get it at least running 
good before I  get a new one. I'd like to keep it as my backup.
