    Best blender for meat

    I have a Vitamix 5200. I had high expectations for it and it exceeded all my expectations. It has blended everything I put into it. I am confident it would blend meat thoroughly and well, though I don't have personal experience using it for that. I like that it has simple controls. I don't...

    I need help figuring out what is wrong with my X8 Extreme Wheelchair.

    The X8 is a pretty specialized wheelchair suitable for a pretty limited number of people. You will need to find someone willing to buy a non working, specialized wheelchair with a broken shroud. 10 years ago I bought a non working x4 (predecessor to the x8). It too had a broken shroud. I...

    I need help figuring out what is wrong with my X8 Extreme Wheelchair.

    I would use a multimeter to check for continuity at various cable connections. Start at the batteries, work your way to the power module,and then to joystick module. Repair the shroud with fiberglass and resin. Steve

    Voice App

    I am using Talk Free on my android phone. It accepts various voice files. I have it configured to us a voice file I created with Model Talker quite awhile ago. It sounds remarkably like me. It is probably too late for your PALS to create a voice file, but Talk Free can use a variety of other...

    Recently diagnosed Bulbar Onset Motor Neuron Disease

    I have been to the Mayo Clinic on Minnesota. That was about 13 years ago. It was not for a second diagnosis, but at the very early stage of having neurological symptoms. My experience is that they test a lot. They repeated every (I think) I had before getting there and added quite a few...

    Wisconsin Medicare Recepients

    I am not in Wisconsin. I do have some experience as a Medicare participant, and will share some thoughts. Medicare parts A and B are great for me and I believe are essential. But, they are not enough. I chose to get a Medicare Supplement plan (Medigap). All the Medicare Advantage plans in...

    Portable Bipap machine

    I am using an Astral 150. With 2 external batteries it will run for 22 hours. All of that fits in a Resmed-made bag that hangs on the back of my wheelchair.
