[Blind-Rollers] dreaming a little

Hi Becky

Well I mentioned the custom seating, and like Erica I have what they call
the quad link, the joy stick/control box swings out to the right and so it
out of the way of tables and desks.
I have tilt which goes back far enough so I can lay down in my chair which I
do several times a day to prevent but stores.
Also I have attendant control so a sighted people can use the joy stick in
the back of my chair to drive when I can't because of pain, or its too many
people, etc. Those are some of the custom things I have on my chair.
My tires have always been air filled with inner tubes for adding more air,
but last time I tried to get that and they said they do not like to get them
for people any more because of the risk of flat tires. I was reluctant to
get the solid gel tires because I was afraid I'd feel every bump but that's
all I could get and they are fine, not bad at all but my chair has great
shocks and I think if you have that you are good with the solid gel tires.

Since this wheelchair company is just being a pistol, the lady who is
handling my case is applying for a real measurement by an expert, and a
custom wheelchair from the insurance company.  Like the subject says, I am
dreaming a little, smile.

 

What would be in a custom wheelchair for you? Or what do you have special on
your chair to make your life better?

 

Are the tires with inner tubes, I guess they are called, really easier on
your body? 

 

Thank you for all your help.

Warmly, 

Becky
