You have accomplished a lot in 40 years you have a wonderful family .  
Congratulations and I hope you had a great time at the casino.  We have one  
that 
had quite a number of concerts each year and a lot of eating places  although I 
have only been to 2 casinos.  They have a lot of the older  groups and new 
ones also.

You are most welcome.  Another interesting consideration to ponder.  After
all these years, I have yet to see, hear or read of a wheelchair
manufacturer that certifies their electric wheelchairs, to be safe for
private or public transport.  As a retailer or DME, and they will voice that
its ok, just be careful.

Trying contacting your manufacturer (if you can) and nail them to a specific
answer and they will tell you that electric wheelchairs were designed and
made for ground transport only.  How many electric wheelchair makers exhibit
and properly mark TY-DOWN points on their chairs.

Hence, owners are left with those decisions.  Some are often forced to
choose themselves where to secure their chair for safe passage.  I'm sure
that most people will say to be careful... and you should.

 

Again and as always... safe passage.

[QUAD-L] Ultimate Ointment?

[Merrill Burghardt]

4% Lidocane Alo Vera Gel.  

 

An internet search brought me to a product I have to share.  For painful
healing areas, even painful mussels this ointment is great.  It is a tube of
4% Lidocane in Alovera.  I believe the price was $7.00 for about a 7 oz
tube.  Web search yourself for 4% Lidocane and I am certain you will find
it.  Seems that after 5-7 hours latter the pain might return, but most often
it stays gone.  In the least it is a welcomed break.

 

Also in the search I found near pure Lidocane powder.  A bit costly at
around $20.00 a gram.  Not sure what I would do with it, but it surprised me
to be there.  The address was in the U.S.A., but back to the ointment.
Wonderful product relieving near all pain from a healing large incision.  I
have been told that old large scars can be painful for life.  Early gel
applications supposedly diminishes this from happening.  If this is true to
some situations, I am delighted finding this product.

FW: [QUAD-L] About wheelchair users keeping their heads down in public

[Merrill Burghardt]

These posts are curious.  Do other chair users experience disgraceful
treatment in public as a rule?  The nicest people have crossed my life since
being in a chair.  Having a "service dog" sure helps social interaction, but
life with other humans was never perfect, especially when I was in walking
mode.  If some of these posters remember walking, were you always making eye
contact to people.  And you think people are looking you!

In a few minutes I will be totally engrossed in a soccer game which is being
streamed live to the United States via ARD.  (
http://sport.ard.de/sp/fussball/news200705/26/livestream.jhtml )
this is the first time in 20 years that I have been following 1.  FC
Nürnberg that they have made the finals of the German cup and I managed to
get the German broadcaster, ARD, to inactivate the geo-blocking device so
those of us in the US that want to watch it can.

I hope everyone has an outstanding holiday and make sure you remember those

When  I was forced to travel this way back in the day when I had 
extraordinarily low  blood pressure, I bounced around all the time and the 
damage to the  
wheelchair.  Thankfully I have figured out most of the problems with my  blood 
pressure, but occasionally I still have those times where I can seem to  get 
it up when I need to.
