Doing ok today n little stiff n a little sore in
the back n joints I think that is from me wanting to be independent last
nite n trying to wheel the manual wheelchair myself plus the transfers
from/to manual wheelchair to my friends car with the transfer board that
is a big challenge for me but no one can help me with it except to hold
wheelchair to make sure it doesn't move as I transfer...
Trying to
decide if I will be up to going to church tonite, I just took some
Tylenols n Tramadols so am hoping they kick in to make body feel better
by tonite, when I go I will be using my mother's scooter which doesn't
have as good of soft ride as the electric wheelchair does nor areal seat
belt like my chair but I want to be there tonite if my body allows
it...
Oh, local stores don't have the batteries in stock Batteries
Plus over a week back ordered but friend Tom look at his favorite store
Discounts Batteries n they also have my type batteries but could have
them by Tuesday n @ $150 each much better prise than Batteries Plus so
cool by Tuesday nite my wheelchair will be working at 100% again... I
was ask if my charger could be defective well seeing it keeps new
batteries charged at full strength for the 1st 4ish months I don't think
the charger at fault but I am not a wheelchair tech(manual wheelchair
is easy to work on before my stroke) but I think the motors are most
likely are at blame for the eating the batteries, they are old n have
been though snow n a lot of use in 7years so my opinion is the motor is
burning up the batteries which I have looked into replacing but think
that is a project me n my roommate Mark are not really a thing we could
do... But if we did get new motors n maybe even a new charger it would
make the whole chair a new wheelchair seeing all ready replaced control
unit n batteries coming soon, n replaced tires the only thing really
need to make it a new chair is the motors n charger oh, n frame almost
forgot the current frame makes so much noise as I go in it people can
hear me coming it rattles a lot n squeaks no cat burglar could I be :-) I
kind of like the noise my chair makes it gives it character so I don't
think I would change the noise maybe have it look at by pro wheelchair
tech to make sure nothing is missing or too lose or broken but wouldn't
want to get rid of it's character it is part of the wheelchair which is
also like me different :-D even how I control the wheelchair feels like
we are in sync n moving the wheelchair is like walking use to be barely
even think about the movement of where I am going body/wheelchair goes
with no thinking... The other wheelchair I got 4years ago fought me
every movement it never liked my controls n I have to really fight with
it n in some ways am glad it smells like it wants to catch on fire gave
me reason to go back to my Invacare Wheelchair... The other wheelchair
was from the Scooter Store n if I remember correctly it is a Steamer
Shopper something like that will never get another of those but wouldn't
mind a new Invacare M91 such a great chair but if I could replace my
wheelchair think the one I show the link to in my note about medical
thing mom n I need would be the best for my needs it comes apart n folds
for transport so would be good for going to retreats, conventions or
even missions...
Ok I have talk to you all n myself long enough :-D
HUGs...
