    28, Male, worried

    Hello, I've been having a lot of symptoms and I'm not sure what to make of them. I will admit that I've also been having a lot of anxiety in recent weeks. In February this year, while playing football/soccer, I had what I was sure was a subluxation of my right knee cap. It happened while I was...

    Things I have learned about EZLock

    We all need some way to secure our wheelchairs in our wheelchair conveyance (minivan, full sized van, etc.). For most of us, that seems to boil down to either a system that straps the wheelchair in (such as QStraint) or one that automatically locks the wheelchair in place (such as the EZlock)...

    We are once again in Yellowstone. We made reservations for this trip back in October of 2015, knowing that we could postpone, shorten, or cancel the trip if necessary. As departure time approached, I seriously considered postponing or cancelling the trip, but persevered with the preparations...

    Equipment sources/places to donate

    Besides the usual suspects (MDA and ALSA), many communities have mobility closets of some kind. Here is one such list by state. For technology items, there is a separate list. For used BiPAPs, this is a good starting point to donate, sell and buy. Dotmed and Bemes offer other options, the...

    Caregivers Leave (and a little rant)

    I know that we do not know anything in regards to time frame, but then how will I know when to take (if I do) Caregivers leave? I believe here in Ontario we get 32 weeks, how do I know when to do that? Hubby started symptoms last year and was formally diagnosed in January this year. At that...
