 Since most maggots from fly larva only eat deat flesh and bacteria, they 
probably cleaned the wound nicely, but you have to remove them.

William, no I did not see the medical examiner but earlier this week I happened 
to turn on Friday Night Lights, never saw the show before.  One of the 
characters is a para who had a girlfriend whose father intimated that dating 
him and furthering his relationship would be the equivalent of going through 
hell.  I got such a warm and fuzzy feeling watching it.  It seems as though the 
para character  Agrees with the father and the next thing I know he's engaged 
to the girl.  Anybody else see it... Dan T.

Hi Dana.
  
Surprisingly, here in Reno, we only have two medical suppliers. For an area 
that has 300,000 people that seems to be somewhat low. The one company is very 
difficult to deal with, and in the past have taken my chair in on an 
appointment to be tested, and didn't even get around to looking at it for five 
working days! I will check with Wayne the other medical supplier, and see if I 
can try a Roho for a few days. Good idea, thank you very much.
  I love my Sony Ericsson 600 I. It has some drawbacks, but so does all 
voice-activated equipment. Over the 16 months I have had it, I have discovered 
some little tricks to make it work better. If I'm going to be in a noisy 
environment, I call a friend or family member to call me and then I don't 
answer. For some reason, if I have a missed call I cannot dial out. When I'm 
going to move out of the noisy environment, I just have somebody press the 
missed call and then press no, and I'm back in business. I have gotten rid of 
most of the mistakes in dialing out, when I didn't mean to, I moving many of my 
voice activated calls to voice connect at Cingular. Then I just tell it to dial 
voice connect and then make my calls through voice connect. I only have six or 
seven people on my voice activation cell phone, and if I miss dial any of 
those, well, they are friends and family and I can talk to them any time. Now 
if I can just learn how to effectively use DragonDictate, I'll be in
 seventh heaven! Joan

  Hi Joan,

I enjoyed reading your information and I'm so glad you got a good deal on your 
omega track.  I use a roho and I don't have any trouble with not being level 
but I don't have the area that you do.  It is they are reliable on my skin.  
The air has gone low and I have gotten a view pressure sores, but they were not 
large and mostly just red spots and I stayed in bed for a few days and they 
were gone.  I keep wondering if there's something they may make that would 
attach to the cushion to monitor the air pressure as I know someone posted such 
a device.  No one seems to remember this post except me.  I may never find it.  
I often look in my full-length mirror to check the cushion.  I understand your 
worry of the issue.  The roho mapped out really good when I was getting a new 
chair the last time it was checked.
   
  How is your magic word cell phone working?
   
  Just my two cents.

  I think most dealers might let you try a roho for a few days to see how it 
feels.

[QUAD-L] About p300 shipping

[RONALD L PRACHT]

Hey,
  I would think that 90-100 pounds is an accurate estimate for the weight of 
the chair. To ship the chair I would think it would be between 300-500 dollars 
because it has to be put on a crate. You could save money if you pick the chair 
up at the nearing heavy freight dock. Should be one price from to pick up from 
loading dock, and a more expensive cost for a door  drop ship. Ive done 300 
ebay deals so this would be my estimate on such an endeavor. Its only worth it 
if you trust the person you are buying from, and the chair cost is low enough 
that you can afford to pay the shipping, but dont let the guy tell you shipping 
will be cheapalso there is a small chance chair could be damaged, 5%.

Hello all, does  anyone know  the aproximate  weight of a quickie p-300 
without the batteries? I guess around 80 or 90  pounds but i really have no 
idea. 
 
..also has anyone ever shipped a chair  ? if so,  which company did you  use?



A loaded electric wheelchair with batteries is rated as 200 lbs.   Without 
the batteries is that much less.
Wheelchairs can not be shipped UPS, but rather Freight-Truck and must be  
strapped to a pallet after boxing as the industry uses forklift trucks to move  
everything.  I've seen rates of $200 up to $550 for across the USA.

Re: [QUAD-L] Pressure mapping

[DAANOO]

Steve,
You seem correct.  The results are on what we are wearing  that day and how 
we are positioned that particular day.  Our bodies  probably change position as 
we do our only chance with tilt and space I am  sure.  I always get pulled up 
when I am tilted after my arm exercises in a  wheelchair.  I can tell, if I 
am not correctly position.  It can vary  on the way people put your clothing on 
you.

I have had pressure mapping two times and it was suggested by my  wheelchair 
person suggested not to change to a different Roho.  I thought  the quantra 
might be good after I broke my femur and I see it differently on the  left side.
