power wheelchair

Does anybody have any experience with the zinger portable power wheelchair? Hubby can still walk, but tires quickly and his FVC is only 60%. He used a scooter on our last trip and thinks it may be helpful when we go out or to go around our neighborhood at home. The zinger looks cool, but he...

From time to time, one of you reaches out to say, "Hey! Where are you?!" This time it was Cheerleader. Thank you for reaching out to get me to check in. I don't mean to not participate here... but free time to share sometimes seems as if it is just beyond an easy reach. Three months ago I...

So Tom made it to another ALS clinic visit. I can't help but wonder if it will be his last, his next one is scheduled for October. His decline seems to be gaining momentum, but who knows with this disease. Anyway, I'm wondering if any of you get MIP and MEP tests done along with FVC. Tom's...

My wife and I have planned a few trips while I can still travel. The first was to the Grand Canyon. We spent a week on the road in our new-to-us wheelchair van. We had a great time! Here is a bit of a report on the trip. We drove to Blanding, Utah, where we spent the first night. The next...

Sorry I stole that from someone else's post but I couldn't think of a better description of what I wanted to ask. I was diagnosed in January 2014. I quit working in July. Once I quit working, I start spending more more time at home either sitting in the chair or laying down in bed using my iPad...
