battery

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...

Warning! This is a rant. A release of my frustration how insurance companies have continually through the years have dictated and thwarted the plans of my doctors and me for getting what I need to survive as a productive person on this earth! It doesn't suprise me that after all the hoops my...
