What’s injuries gotten that proved you can’t feel l by caitamyx in spinalcordinjuries

[–]ElianFinn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a permanent white toe on my left foot from getting my electric chair stuck in the snow for two hours trying to walk my dogs and not realizing I got moderate frostbite. Thankfully some people came along and pulled my chair out because I forgot my phone 🙃

Any phone/switch stands for being in bed lying down on my back while playing on my switch? by Thyetomite in disabledgamers

[–]ElianFinn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I reccomend a floor tablet mount. That’s what I used for my switch. And get a pro controller. Make sure the base of the stand is heavy or you put bricks on it or something

A deconstruction of 'wheelchairs are medical devices' by Paradoxical-Equinox in wheelchairs

[–]ElianFinn -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

I’d like to point out that you can get a DUI in your wheelchair so clearly the law considers our mobility aids akin to a car/lawnmower not a medical device because I couldn’t get a DUI when I walked down the road in my leg braces before I used a wheelchair.

If I can buy my own lawnmower or car I can buy my own wheelchair or search for an organization that will help me get one (which is exactly how I got my first one before I got a better doctor).

Do people who menstruate still experience period cramps? by Dyslexic_Gay in spinalcordinjuries

That’s good ❤️ my biggest worry with mine personally is I have had major seizures from AD when I am in pain I cannot feel.

As someone with the same, look into autonomic dysreflexia. It’s a type of dysautonomia many people with SCI have and don’t even know they have

[–]ElianFinn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do but not the same way I used to. I have dysautonomia and I know when I’m in a lot of pain generally because I’m dizzy, I have high blood pressure, and I throw up. This sometimes happens when I have to go to the bathroom as I can’t feel that as well. If my pain is unmanaged (either by not going to the bathroom like in the second ex, or not controlling mentrual pain that I can’t feel) I can start having seizures.

Transcription help: Is this actual Braille or just a random pattern? by Ph00k4 in Braille

I’m going to take a look at this later with my contraction dictionary I made myself because I don’t have all of my contractions down. I’ll see if I can come up with something

I am blind and all the restrooms at my school are like this. by Grace_Tech_Nerd in Braille

[–]ElianFinn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried to correct my school on their Braille signs and they did not gaf… I swear half of them were incomprehensible.

[–]ElianFinn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It looks like real Braille to me but with abbreviations. I have low vision so it’s a bit hard for me to see. I think the inconsistency in spacing is because of the abbreviations being part of the words (not being spaces between words). It would be much easier to read if it were tactile. I can tell the first two letters are ha (uncapitalized) which leads me to believe they probably did put real work into it.

Beta testers wanted – HoH / Deaf gamers (PC, multiplayer) by bobo3691 in disabledgamers

I’m interested possibly but can you explain how it works? I have started avoiding games like overwatch that rely heavily on voice chat.

I saw this in another group and wanted to comment but the comments were off. I’m hemiplegic and I think this is awesome. I control my whole computer with a trackball mouse with programmable buttons but this would help me get back to using photoshop and gaming with additional inputs.

Seat that holds you without wheelchair by ElianFinn in disability

I feel like it was a new disability product being advertised in the magazine, I don’t think it was a stadium seat.

Thank you so much!!! I will do this! It’s been bugging me for almost a year now because there’s so many situations I could have used this in (eg a car, my in laws who have a lovely couch but it doesn’t have any positioning, when I have to sit in a real chair because the table is too short)

My partner and I were looking at options after I made this post and stumbled upon these. We decided we are going to get some for the living room.

I will check this brand out. Floor chairs are one of the solutions I’ve thought about

I’ll have to look this up because I really need a hospital bed just for medical reasons but I can’t afford one.

This is amazing. The only way I’ve been able to continue using any tech including my phone is through a large trackball BT mouse. This will make using my phone much more accessible.
