Great to get a new chair! Thumbs up! My Permobil Chairman is 9 1/2 years old now. The upholstery on the back armrests started going about 4 years ago and now I find lil black specks everywhere (even on my neck, etc SOMEHOW!). I also have the tilt and recline and use the tilt feature constantly! My last chair, a Fortress Scientific, only had a recline feature but I loved that chair for the 12 years I was in in it. The back of the chair was very thick and pretty much hollow so it felt much better than the one that comes with the Permobil. Even though I had extra foam put in the back of this Permobil -- it STILL feels so hard OR my chronically hurting back is oversensitive. I don't know which. There was a discussion here over a year ago about those of us here who have Permobils and have felt that their back has hurt worse. Any of those of you still out there? I think there were about four of us including me. Like many ... no idea what my next chair (long overdue) choice will be. I've been in my ~comfort zone~ with it by being in my Permobil almost a decade now and am leery to change. Hubby says no more Permobils (for many reasons) but he is not the one in the chair all day long either! I really regret NOT getting the elevated feature so it would be much easier to get batteries put in. It has been a major hassle for me to stay in bed to get new batteries put in while my husband has to take it to the vendor and they turn it on its side or something. After spending 12 years in my last chair... it took me awhile (months) to get used to my Permobil back in early 1999. * How was your new cair paid for Tim -- if I might ask? And who was the vendor that you will continue to go to for services? That also seems to be a major problem for many of us. I also forgot which state you live in? * I also can't remember... is this your first Permobil or did you have one before? Although you did mention your Quickie so I assume that was your previous chair. Did your body adjust to it right away? * Are you just sitting on the bucket seat or are you using a special cushion instead? I sat in the bucket seat up until four years ago with no skin problems whatsoever that were pressure related. But I decided to take the opportunity to have Medicare pay for a cushion after my last wound caused by moisture. It is called a VARILITE cushion. It is so weird sometimes when you find that your body cannot easily go back to something. About a year ago as I would go back to using the bucket seat but my body screamed NO I really bad feelings and spasms. The same happened when, after sitting in my Permobil for about a year and finally gotten used to it, I went to go back to try Old Faithful one day and my body reacted the same and I had to go back to bed and switch chairs! I notice the bumps just as much as any other chair I have used. The big front wheels go over everything smoothly but the smaller back wheels make everything, including sidewalks operations, a definite KA-THUD all the time... therefore jarring my body. Thanks for sharing that you are happy with it! I think I only have 5 questions (yikes!) but I would be much obliged if you would answer them.

Re: [QUAD-L] New Permobil
My new Permobile C350 is still sitting in the shop. I haven't had a chance to sit in it yet, but I am eager to try it out shortly. In fact, I'm going to get on the phone right now and see what the hold up is this time. I ordered the thing in March and while the chair arrived pretty quickly, it has taken three or four months to get all of the other parts in.

Re: [QUAD-L] New Permobil
the invacare TDX models do well. Like the peremobile they have a shortage of leg foot protection unless your DME will add it to make the sale. Obviously, a peremobile is a buick and the Invacare is a Chevy. The peremobile is more than just smooth. It has a well deserved reputation. I know a guy that has had a Peremobile for 20 years. My TDX is 4 years old and it has a cute grinding sound when backing up to the right. When I start out in the morning I have to recline while my aid is there to help it sit up and remember what sitting up is. The 1st few times it sits up each day it tries just making the sound that it is sitting up. When I called Invacare, they said to just turn off the power and then try sitting up after I turn the power back on. My DME ordered the part and they are coming tomorrow to to replace it. It has done it before. Now if the Peremobile needs a service call, they can't fix it at your home. Just getting the wheels off a Peremobile is a major job. I don't know what the crash test results are. My chair is just passing 8900 hours. I had an Invacare Storm series. It resembles the peremobile front wheel drive except it is usually set up in rear wheel drive. It was awfull riding. Handling was pathetic. for speed, it was easily the fastest chair I ever owned and batteries were huge. It is my backup if this chair suddenly dies or goes for a week or two. Before that I had an EJ premier. I never got a sore in it but it was like driving a freight train with no suspension at all. Dependable and dangerous. I know this group has had some awesome chairs. in Ohio it is a matter of what you're willing to deal with and if the people helping you care if you get a decent chair. You need to write up a minimum that your willing to live with for 5 to 7 years. You can ask for a nightime outdoor package. you might not get it but act like you're making a big sacrifice. Ohyea, get a power plug for your laptop. MyDesc has some nice desktops for most chairs. Ask your Dr. to specifically perscribe things you really want. Don't forget the electric leg bag drain. I have seen people stop getting out of bed because their chair was so incredibly uncomfortable. - Original Message From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: quad-list@eskimo.com Sent: Monday, March 3, 2008 9:46:00 PM Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] New Permobil Lori Yea this is my first Permobil.

[QUAD-L] New Permobil
Hooray! Not sure if any of you guys have seen or tested the latest chair from Permobil, but its nice. I ordered my c-350 corpus in December and just delivered it. It comes with many options I opted for the tilt, recline, and foot elevator. You can also get the seat elevator. There are three things I told the lady OT who helped me pick the chair out: (1)It had to ride smooth (2)It had to have a low seat to floor height and (3) IT HAD TO BE SEXY!!! I'll try to put some picks of it up on myspace in the next few days. We'll see how well it holds up to the amount of college campus miles I'm gonna put on it. Luke- c-5/6 incomplete 7 1/2 yrs post

It's the closest thing I could find to a Peachtree. I have found that sneezing or coughing at slow speeds can be more difficult than at high speeds. I know you are only joking, but I try to make sure I'm able to put my Peachtree into neutral before I sneeze or cough. It is still going to be difficult to change, but I am pretty sure I will eventually get the hang of everything. I found it much easier to operate than the chin control, but that's because I'm not used to that type of system.
