Mandy, c6-c7 c From: Monty _aa999xyz@yahoo.com_ (mailto:aa999...@yahoo.com) Subject: [QUAD-L] 19_anniversary To: quadriplegic _quad-list@eskimo.com_ (mailto:quad-list@eskimo.com) Date: Wednesday, November 14, 2012, 3:18 AM Good morning everybody and have been meaning to write sooner but time seems to fly by at times. It's my anniversary of 19 years post injury as of 3 PM today. It seems kind of weird because I was 19 when the car accident happened. For the most part I feel like I'm on top of the world well at least for someone dealing with spinal injury. Have been in the process these last few months on getting a new chair from 21st-century products. Medicaid had no problem of approving it with no denial except for the paint color which I have to pay out-of-pocket. I have remained extremely active outside of my home on a daily basis of voluntary and employment. About three months ago I moved into a much bigger place under government subsidized apartments which offered me a three-bedroom unit versus the shoebox sized one-bedroom I had before. Unfortunately without the property management Not being up front with me about room dimensions,I had to take the living room but my live-in roommate now has a bedroom of her own. Next month I will be going on vacation to celebrate my grandpa's 90th birthday down in Tucson. That is where all my family is and I visit about every year or so. Medically I really can't complain about anything, with no skin issues that I'm having to deal with for the moment. The morning temperatures here in northern Indiana the last week has been down in the low 20s with daytime temperatures barely in the 40s. It is always so much fun to get my body to adjust for these temperatures and I'm the one choosing to say here in this cold climate. After being employed at target for over 17 years now in customer service you learn a little bit on how retailers rotate their inventory on a regular basis. The last couple Springtime I found some excellent deals on jackets at Sears at 70 to 80% off the regular retail price which have been keeping me warm and toasty at least for the top half of me. I thank you all for your ongoing encouragement and hope the best for all of you. From Monty of Indiana 3/4 complete 19 years =

[QUAD-L] Mushy tires
I use solid tires on my Storm. They are like sponges, if I go out after a rain and come inside I leave tracks and sometimes stains carpet and vinyl. Any body have similar problem. Glenn Henry G.A.Henry Radio 100 Mill Street Washington Boro, PA 17582
Re: [QUAD-L] Mushy tires
Same problem with me. I live in an apartment building and if it's raining or snowing I ride up and down the halls to wipe my feet Bobbie On Nov 16, 2012, at 3:46 PM, gah17...@aol.com wrote: I use solid tires on my Storm.

Re: [QUAD-L] Mushy tires
My new chair is going to have air in the tires, I'm curious to know if I'm going to have the same problem or not. How many of you guys have air in your tires? How do you have to take care of them?

Re: [QUAD-L] Mushy tires
Any tire will get dirt in treads and squeak when wet, depending on the flooring, and the medium that lubricated the tire (water, Snow, Slush, ice, mud, wet sand, etc.) The firmness of the tire will decrease the amount of crud that gets transferred to the floor dependent on the floor type. Wether the tire has inserts, air or is a solid core has minimal effect on the amount of crud transferred or the volume of the squeaking. It should be obvious that I have too much time on my hands. On this subject there is one axiom that will always be true: IF THERE IS DOGGIE POOP I WILL FIND IT WITH MY TIRES. THE POOP WILL ALWAYS BE IN THE TIRE WITH THE MOST TREAD. GETTING IT OUT OF THE TIRES WILL BE SOMEONE ELSE'S THANKLESS JOB, FOR WHICH I CAN NEVER SAY SORRY ENOUGH TIMES. Stay away from poop my friends.

Billy is right. It's Murphy's law for quads. There can be a single piece of gum on a football field and my wheel will find it. The hard/softness of the tire makes a big difference in the comfort of the ride. Too hard makes your bones rattle when you are traveling a rough surface. Tough on the tailbone. I suspect avoidance is the only sure way to fix the mud and poo problem.

Re: [QUAD-L] Mushy tires
What happens ti me with my tires is I'll get a sticky substance THEN a tissue or napkin will stick to my tire and I'll be riding around with this tissue riding around with me. People who see me pretend they don't see it because they don't want to unstick it. So, I wait till I get home and find someone to take it off and toss it out.
