Hello broken leg,
I was in approximately the same predicament that you are in. I broke my
leg several years ago in three places, just below the knee, just above the
ankle, and the third was the small bone. The first thing the doctor asked
me was do you want me just to amputate. YEAH

Yes Elizabeth this is another Chris, the quad video. But please watch it
help me figure this out.
He makes it look like it takes so little energy. Is this really life using a
lift? Is it safe to use a lift when you are alone.
Id be warn out after all that, it looks like the video was sped up.

Think back to right after your accident; you and your family were in the
hospital, clueless, trying to figure out what was going to happen and how life
was going to be from now on. It was a crazy, scary, emotional time for
everyone: you, your family and your friends.

My friend has three pairs of Rolli jeans he no longer can fit in and is willing
to give them to someone who can use them. You will have to pay the shipping
cost.
They're about 33W x 38L.
Rolli jeans are specifically designed for chair users and a great quality but
expensive.
I've been using this one for a few years

Hi Don.
I know the Nat Spinal Cord Injury Assoc has produced a Survival Guide for
spinal cord injuries. I also believe the 5-6 Major Rehab Units Shepherd,

I absolutely love Chris's video and how innovative and independent he is. He
reminds me of myself when I went away to college at 5 years post.
I used to get myself in bed, undressed, turn myself, wake up get myself
dressed, and transfer out completely by myself. When I think about it now I

There are three types of batteries you can use
1) Sealed gel which is most expensive

Wow, Chris is amazing. I could never do as much as he does ...but I *can* do a

I have a power-lift from HandiMove that has a wireless (IR) remote that lets me
