    PWC headrest modification

    I really don't like the standard PWC headrest. The rear projection is significant and while just a small issue on the Quantum it becomes a risky issue on the shorter Whill. Even a tennis ball is only a band-aid. Especially a hazard while strapping the PWC in the van. So, I modified it and...

    wheelchairs and insurance question

    How often will insurance pay for a wheelchair- is it one per every certain amount of years? And how hard is it to get approved? I can still walk but fatigue utterly after short distances. I'm worried if we request a wheelchair eval insurance will decide that my ambulation is not impaired...

    Introduction: Dad Diagnosed with ALS

    permobil m300 is too tall for most tables

    My permobil m300 PWC is too tall for most tables It is 1 to 2" too high on lowest full tilt forward for my legs to go under tales. Is there some attachable tray table, I can use when dining out?

    Transitioning

    For 3 years my wife has fought with everything she has to make ALS take things from her. Anything that could help make life easier was pushed to the side until it was the only option left. Her PWC sat as a dust collector for seven months, although for the last month, she was being pushed around...

    Accessable Travel

    I can barely walk with walker. I have PWC and use a hospital bed. Wife wants to do one more cruise, but I envision all the problems transferring and getting in and out of bathroom and bed! I now can get out of hospital bed if I raise it until feet barely touch ground. Am I crazy, or is...

    Air Compression Calf Massager

    Because of ALS, Darcey's legs often ache or itch. Her left leg, in particular, bothers her the most. She likes for me to push against her shin with the heel of my hand. She says that the pressure just feels good. My daughter has her rabbit staying with us. Darcey likes having the rabbit...
