    Opinions Needed - Ramp vs Platform Lift

    We have 5 steps to get into our house. We’re being proactive since we know these will be a problem for my PALS in the near future. He currently just uses a rollator. We’ve talked with 3 companies about metal ramps and VPLs (vertical platform lifts). The cost will be about the same for...

    Adventures in van parking, part 2

    Navigating in a Power Wheelchair

    Handicapped parking spots

    When I was able bodied, it always seemed that the handicapped spots in front of a business were often empty, forcing everyone else to park farther away. Now that I’m using a wheelchair, it seems that the handicapped spots are often taken. Even at places like Costco where there are lots of...

    3 months later

    First, when Eileen was on hospice, I couldn't share all the details of her passing, even now some of it is more than I can talk about on the forum.

    Ramp money

    I just learned that you do not have to use the $6800 grant money to build a ramp. All I had to do was have my ALS Clinic nurse put in a consult with Prosthetics and they will take care of it. The $6800 is for door widening, kitchen mods etc.

    Entry and threshold ramps

    After several discussions with ramp specialists I decided to have a carpenter build a ramp. Metal ones that you can rent are okay but are expensive (initial cost $600.00, monthly rent $250) and do not give the solid feel of wood and concrete set posts. Cost to build $1,600. Also, I did not...
