How to decorate your wheelchair

How to decorate your wheelchair Norintys skaityti tekstą lietuvių kalba - slinkite žemyn When I was choosing my wheelchair, I didn't know what I needed. And it doesn't matter that I had some experience as an occupational therapist. Because giving advice is easy. But it was different when I was the one who would use the chair. And really, 5 years ago, I did not think about how my wheelchair would look. I wanted to have a comfortable, easy-to-handle wheelchair built for a tetraplegic. Only recently have I begun to think, that perhaps the time has come, for my wheelchair to be “renovated” and to improve how it looks. And while I only use two things to make it attractive, people really notice. 1. First of all, I put on the pink "spoke covers" called "seksi spokes" by Rahadesign on the spokes of the wheels. And when I did, I received many compliments and curious glances. It's a really inexpensive and easy way to make your wheelchair attractive.

Keep Floors Clean With Wheelchair Socks and Slippers

Norintys skaityti tekstą lietuvių kalba - slinkite žemyn I would like to tell you about a practical thing for wheelchair users. Sounds strange - socks and slippers for a wheelchair?? When I first heard about them, I couldn’t imagine what they were. But I guessed it must be something that should be put on wheels. And that was right. I received a pair of Slippers and Socks from RehaDesign and I tried them for a week. What is my experience with using socks and slippers for a wheelchair? It was really interesting to try them because I had some doubts about them and I was wondering what they were really like. Let‘s start with slippers: they are really soft, light, and pleasant to touch, just like real slippers. :) And the first thing I worried about is that I wouldn’t be able to put them by myself because I am quadriplegic. But how can I say that when I haven't even tried it? So, I looked at the instructions and I put the slippers on! I did it all by myself, as you can see in

Comparing Mail Forwarding Companies

4 Mail Forwarding Services Reviewed I have been an expat for many years and one of the most difficult challenges I have faced is what to do with my US mail. Again, I am on a search for a reliable solution. My main concern? Security. I do not want just "some guy" to open and scan the contents of my documents. Issues like ID Theft or Security Fraud concerns me. There are many mail scanning and forwarding services to choose from these days, but very few properly address the issue of security. One company that was recommended to me was "Mailbox Forwarding, Inc", but their "F" grade by the BBB made me look elsewhere. Earth Class Mail : This company has the best discussion about security on their website and really seems to be taking the subject seriously, the way that I want it to be taken. They mention that they are Hipaa compliant, which means that their security processes are tested and reviewed. But their pricing is breath taking. Most of th

The Best Dating Sites For Wheelchair Users

Dating for Wheelchair Users Internet dating is never easy. You have to put yourself out there to total strangers and open yourself to rejection. But internet dating can be more challenging for wheelchair users. Is it better to go for mainstream dating sites? Or to go for sites focused on other people with disabilities? : Use mainstream dating apps : Tinder OKCupid Match Eharmoney If you go this route, you might want to mention your wheelchair with a sense of humor.

10 Inexpensive Quality Wheelchairs

Lightweight Wheelchairs for Under $1500? When I am asked how much my wheelchair costs and I answer, most people are surprised. Usually quality wheelchairs cost between Euro 2000-3000 and in my country you can buy a used car for that amount. But if you are disabled you do not have a lot of choice, you need a wheelchair. In many countries (such as mine), the cost of the wheelchair is not always fully reimbursed. For example, in Lithuania, the government will pay up to 1200 euros and the disabled person has to pay the amount left over. This can be very difficult for many people. So, finding a quality affordable wheelchair is very important. We have created a list of quality lightweight, adjustable, affordable wheelchairs, together with Pros and Cons (advantages and disadvantages). The list includes both rigid and folding wheelchairs. But what do these terms mean and why are they important? Weight : does it really matter? YES! Lightweight wheelchairs are easier to lift and are easier to pu

A Review of The RoughRider Wheelchair

I want to thank Colby Underhill for this excellent review of the RoughRider Wheelchair, which he submitted a few days after he bought it. First, the bad. The chair is designed with the caster wheels directly under the footrests, rather than under your thighs like on most chairs. This leads to the front part of the chair, the footrests essentially, sticking out a bit in the front. This design is essential for the function of the chair, as I’ll describe below, but it makes it a bit more difficult than a regular wheelchair to use indoors. For example, if you have a standard kitchen you won’t be able to wheel up close to the countertop or sink. I was able to compensate for this by skootching forward and balancing on the edge of my seat when I needed to get close to something, and my gel seat cushion made this easier, but someone with poor upper body strength or control would definitely have problems doing that. Also, the chair is a bit heavier than average, which may make it tough for som
