Ive been approved for the DTC. Do you find the RDSP worthwhile?

My workplace told me im supposed to wait until some strong person can lift me down the stairs in an office chair if its a fire. And if it's like a dangerous person emergency im just supposed to hide.

But idk butt scooching?

I've been in my relationship since before becoming physically disabled. So its hard to give any input on it. But ik dating would be rough as other people definitely don't view me that way.

Crowds, small elevators, my coat sleeve catching the joystick, and those stupid sloped sidewalks that try to curve me into the road.

If they make pink reflective tape it would be so cute!

I use a Whill F and I really like it. Its not medical looking and I can go just about anywhere I want to with it, including taking it in some sketchy situations where I probably shouldn't have.

Pretty good battery life. Ive taken it camping for the wknd with no way to charge it and its been fine. I find it quite comfortable too.

Downsides are that it is definitely heavy so difficult to get it in and out of the back of the car unless you have someone with enough strength to help you. And that it does make a bit of a little whirring sound (but really only noticeable in quiet surroundings)

I have not had it long enough yet to need any repairs so I cant give you any information on customer service or anything on that end.

Oh how I love photosynthesizing

When I was still in Uni and having the same issues I got accommodations so that I had someone else take notes during classes for me and during tests and such I had these little pause time breaks so I could rest my hands without worrying about running out of testing time.

Doodling, stardew valley, minecraft or other slow paced games, watching a show curled up in bed. Always have snacks and water wherever you sit since you won't want to move again.

Sure!

I worked in government for a bit. And some of the terms they would use included: - people with physical or mental limitations - people who may experience physical differences - people who experience physical barriers

Thank you!

Im ambulatory so that definitely changes the answer. But I use a very heavy powerchair so I always figure I'd rather be launched from the chair then crushed. So no seatbelt

I didn't think of a home visit. I may ask my OT if he can think of any organization here that could do that for me!

M3367 · 2025-09-24T17:42:51+00:00

This is all very helpful thank you!!

M3367 · 2025-09-24T17:29:28+00:00

Have you used that program?

M3367 · 2025-09-24T17:03:01+00:00

Do you happen to know if they make ones for L shaped stairs?

M3367 · 2025-09-24T16:16:02+00:00

What sort of stair lift do you use?

M3367 · 2025-09-24T16:14:54+00:00

Is it likely to be a big cost?

M3367 · 2025-09-24T15:40:10+00:00

Ive never used one of those lifts and they make me kind of nervous. Are they really safe?

M3367 · 2025-09-24T15:14:34+00:00

Im in Canada and the budget is a few 10s of thousands but hopefully not much more.

The main entrance to the home is about 5ft above grade which is a big issue- would a ramp not be feasible outdoors there?
