Re: [QUAD-L] Roho cushions
I have tried ROHO cushions several times over the last 26 years since my injury. I really decided I needed a cushion on my Permobile a little over a year ago. Once again I tried a ROHO cushion. I know there are several different versions of them now but I have never been able to balance on them. So when I was trying out cushions ... the vendor brought a few that he thought would work for me. One was called a VARILITE and that is the one I chose. It is a fantastic cushion! Their web site is www.varilite.com Lori ---Original Message--- From: Stacy Harim Date: 04/12/06 17:18:11 To: Quad-list post; ~LittleQuad~ Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] Roho cushions I just hate mine when transferring out of the shower. I sink in the middle of the transfer and it's hard when you don't have the pants to help you slide. Other than that I like it. I liked my J2 better and I hope I eventually get back to one after I heal from the flap I finally decided to get.

Easy to fix is a metaphor. If you don't follow the recipe, the repair won't last. If you follow the instructions properly, you still have a 50-50 chance. Some people are very good at following instruction, while others slap everything together and prays. W
