    Family

    I am still waiting to know for sure, probably is all the neurologist would say, definitely motor neuron. So, my oldest son came to visit. He went with me to the neurologist.

    Clinic 06/05

    Clinic went well. FVC improved a bit. Only lost four pounds - lots in my legs we can tell. They adjusted my wheelchair joystick turn radius to make it easier to drive. Ordered two switches for access to mode settings and power on my chair because of my right arm being weaker. And getting a pt to...

    Another Wheelchair Adventure

    It was a beautiful sunny day here today, so I decided to test the endurance of my fully charged wheelchair with a long solo ride. I went to town, stopped at the library, explored a bit, and then headed home. About a quarter mile from home I realized I had overestimated the wheelchair's battery...

    Power Mobility questions

    PWC users - do you have the adjustable seat height feature? I understand it is an option I can pay for out of pocket for the Quantum Q6. Pretty expensive addition, so I'm wondering if its worth it? If you also paid OOP for your feature too, did you negotiate the price of the add on? 3 wheel...
