  1. Eight weeks after my cousin Wendy was run over she's slowly learning to walk again on her completely reconstructed foot/ankle/leg.

    Today we went out to 'walk' her doggy, Otter. We had to call in at the pub for a cheeky glass. 🍷 She felt human again!

    Thx to the staff at the Red Lion, #Eynsham for caring.🙏 XXX

  6. I’m going to contact Etech but I’m not gonna hold my breath that they’d offer another replacement.

    Trying not to freak out because we were supposed to be going to the Isle of Wight tomorrow on the hovercraft as D’s birthday treat.

    While the damage is still minor at the moment, from experience with the first wheel, it could quickly get a lot worse to the point of being basically unusable and I don’t want to get stuck over there, in pain and having to push a broken wheelchair back home.

  10. I’m actually pretty sure about the culprit this time - the cable protectors at Pride.

    I get why they’re used and I try to be as careful as I can be but they are hellish to get over in a wheelchair.

  14. Roach has another wheel collapse. I’ve only had her about 10 weeks. Less than 3 months and both front wheels have done this.

    I am at the top of the weight limit for the chair so I expected some problems down the line but I didn’t think it would be this bad this quickly.

    Has anyone else had this with honeycomb wheels? Am I just unlucky? Can anyone recommend better wheels?

  19. CW: wheelchair battery saga

    okay I have a question for other #Disabled #PowerWheelchair #Wheelchair #WheelchairUsers etc.

    my current wheelchair is a Merits Travel Ease, with a P&G VSI controller. my previous chair was a similar chair, different manufacturer, same controller.

    it did a thing today that my previous chair had done. I forgot to charge it last night. it started from having four dots of charge, then diminished fairly quickly as we walked along. to the point that we had crossed the street, put the chair in neutral/turned off the brakes and spouse then 'towed' me the two blocks to the treatment center.

    when I turned it back on it had four dots of battery again. I charged it while I was there and it seems to be doing fine again but I really want to know what the fuck bug/error code this is.

    I've searched pretty much the whole Internet to no avail, so now it's time to ask around? anyone?

  26. Curtis's humiliation came from the fact that at his graduation, the ramp to get onto the stage was too steep & #inaccessible for #WheelchairUsers.

    Curtis has #EhlersDanlos syndrome, a connective tissue disorder that causes joint dislocations & severe pain, which is why he uses a #wheelchair & has a service animal.

  30. I'm stuck relying on taxis for the now. My car has failed its MOT and is stuck in the garage for repairs. And of course I have to pay extra to get a taxi where my wheelchair will fit in the boot.
