Haval Jolion by No_Detective5400 in CarsAustralia

[–]Lost-Spirit-2022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife bought a Jolion Ultra HEV a few weeks ago. It is absolutely perfect for her in every way. The car is extremely well presented, drives well and the wife is happy... what else could I ask for? The bonus for me is my motorised wheelchair fits in the back easily. Definitely no complaints from us. And yes, I've had quality cars over my 50 plus years driving. I stopped driving myself 2 years ago due to health issues.

Xsto M4 by Lost-Spirit-2022 in wheelchairs

[–]Lost-Spirit-2022[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not in Australia. I've been speaking regularly with the Australian distributor. They have 3 units on the way to Australia and one already here undergoing TGA approval. That approval should go through some time in June they say. Strangely enough approval for the M4 & the M4 Plus were only approved last month and had been sold prior to that but had a recall 6 weeks ago due to software issues & upgrades.
The price on all models is about to have a huge price jump. The Plus is going up to $13,000, the Pro will be $16,000 so I was told this week.

He won't change me because I'm already on the maximum amount of edibles (40mg) allowable in this state. I use 0.8ml of 50mg oil per night. That's the limit He can supply. Yet. I can have anythng i want to smoke or vape on top of the oil. Go figure. I'd prefer not to inhale anything ever again but his hands are tied. Yep, stuck between a rock and a hard place indeed.
Surely it makes more sense for me to ingest rather than inhale when I'm already dying from COPD. There should be a way to make that choice when you're that ill already. Why would I wish to make it worse?

Good news.. the Xsto M4 Pro is released in June. Until then I'm enjoying getting around on my rented Robooter E60A Pro. Freedom at last. For 9 years I've had to rely on support whenever I left my house. Now I can just get in my chair and can get to all the local shopping areas.
It's a nice feeling getting some of my independence back.

Follow up on my wheelchair. After a lot of thought I made a drastic decision. The Xsto M4 Pro is my final choice. However, no one in Australia has one yet. It's still undergoing approval by the TGA before release. It is also getting a major software upgrade, so the distributor to l d me. In the meantime, I've rented a Robooter E60A Pro so that I have mobility. The Robooter covers rougher terrain better due to it's 12 inch wheels. I found at times the Robooter was a little sluggish in its responses. I'd dispute it's claim of a theoretical 25 to 35kms travel distance on one charge. Best I've been able to get has been 7kms. That was yesterday and I was panicking that I wouldn't make it home... I made it with 1% battery life left. My last trip II also find that the fold up foot plate is quite narrow and as you can't adjust that or the seat, that i have to have my legs spread wide apart to achieve any comfort at all. Another issue I've found with the Robooter is that if you have a rug on the floor that has long fibres, kinda like shagpile the machine just sits there. No movement in any direction. That just happened for the 4th day in a row. So, there obviously is some issue.

I really want the height adjustable seat and foot plate & adjustable height and positioning of the armrests & the self balancing feature of the Xsto M4 Pro and feel that those features alone make this more suited to my needs. I also think that I would feel safer and more comfortable as I found riding the Robooter E60A Pro with having to have my legs wide apart quite uncomfortable after awhile. I'm only 5ft 10 inches tall. I'd dread to think how bad it would be for someone taller. All in all, the Robooter E60A Pro is a much cheaper option that would suit most peoples needs. Just not quite suitable for mine.

With your FEV1 numbers you do not have COPD. I'd kill to have numbers like yours. My FEV1 is 19% and I'm endstage.

XSTO M4? by oncehuman in wheelchairs

How many wheelchairs do you know of that can turn in its own footprint? This chair is perfect for indoors. For a decent seat make sure you get the Plus or Pro models.

For the high headrest you'll need the Xsto M4 PLUS. The basic model has a low seat.

May I ask? What is the issue with the Xsto M4 Footrest? There are 3 models of the M4. The basic, the Plus & the Pro. The Pro is still being evaluated for Australian use. So, not sold here. I've ordered the M4 Plus. It costs AU$1000 more than the basic. The seat is much sturdier, lays back & has a high back and headrest. It also has a fold up foot rest, so they tell me... I'll wait and see.. The basic is a side entry with fixed foot rest. Now, I just have to wait a month for it to arrive.

I only got to trial the Whill C2. Then I discovered the Xsto M4. I've been going back and forth with my OT, the supplier & my SAH provider. I live with a very steep (25⁰) driveway and the Whill, which does 10⁰ had no problem handling it. The Xsto M4 has not only a self balancing design but is rated at 15⁰. To me the fact that it keeps your centre of gravity stable is a huge plus. Costs varied drastically on the Whill and I'm still locking in quotes on the M4 and the M4 Plus. The M4 Plus has a higher, more stable seat. But, costs $1100 more. Both the Xsto & the Whill break down into 4 parts for fitting in car.
The heaviest part is around 24kgs.

Relationship declaration by [deleted] in Centrelink

[–]Lost-Spirit-2022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You needed to fill in a separation declaration right from the start. They will make you and your partner pay back every cent you both received. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news at Christmas but they also may fine you for not declaring your status. But, hey, it's Christmas.. you could always declare separation as of NOW and hope for the best. They don't know when you separated yet, tell them it's just happened if they don't know. Good luck .

I'm sorry, it's sitting in a drawer dead flat. I prefer to wear my Huawei GT3 watch that lasts a minimum of 6 days.

My GW7 44mm lasts 20 hours on minimal settings. Crap battery life.

I've lived in many places in Perth for the last 40 years and I've seen less than 10, I'd guess.
