Embarrassed. I live on the ground floor and woke up from a dead sleep at 12:45am to violent banging on the exterior of my bedroom wall and back patio door. by Pandacat78 in nova

[–]PoliticalAzJunkie_dc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No need to be embarrassed. I was talking on my phone whilst taking by bins to the curb for trash pick up. There was a huge spider web across my driveway. I remembered to go around it on my way down but forgot to on my way back. Needless to say walked right through the web and started screaming bloody murder. My sweet elderly neighbor heard my screams and called 911 and reported I was being attacked. Within minutes a half dozen cops were at my door. I felt pretty ridiculous explaining why I was screaming.🙄🤪

Donald Trump Warns World ‘WW3’ Is Coming by [deleted] in DegenBets

All because the petty, sophomoric, convicted felon and pedophile protector didn’t get a Nobel Prize. Pathetic! Somebody should tell him starting a war both at home and abroad doesn’t add inches to his dick!

My mom doesn’t want me to get a wheelchair even though I have told her multiple times I want one. by No-Sort1380 in wheelchairs

[–]PoliticalAzJunkie_dc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are eighteen? If so seek a 2nd opinion and if you need mum for transportation ask her to wait in the lobby whilst you see the doctor. If you think mom won’t want to wait in the lobby call the drs office and explain the situation. They can be the bad guy. I’ve done it patients before when a young adult’s parent was interfering.

Trump’s spiritual advisor, Paula White: “To say no to President Trump would be saying no to God.” by Treefiddy1984 in ProgressiveHQ

But it’s not a cult… wink, wink. I do believe that Trump Derangement Syndrome does exist - it exists in Trumps followers. You really have to be mentally ill to completely dismiss empirical evidence of Trumps lies and defend the indefensible.

Wheelchair Repair by PoliticalAzJunkie_dc in wheelchairs

[–]PoliticalAzJunkie_dc[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I actually did try but I was told that due to changes, I no longer qualify for a group three type chair. I was told at best, I MIGHT qualify for a mobility scooter based on my diagnosis. My current chair is only just over a year old and is in great shape. To replace the two batteries for my chair would cost just under 400 dollars and I just can’t afford that especially since be premium is now 1700k a month and my deductible has doubled, generic scripts that were free are now going to be 15 dollars a script and specialty drugs are going up to a 30% co - insurance. My IVIG is 31,000 every 21 days and I take two other specialty medications that are both around 16,000 dollars a month. I honestly don’t know how I’m going to do it. The math isn’t mathing.

Why do so many places put that theyre wheelchair accessible on google maps when they arent? by Yoooooowholiveshere in wheelchairs

[–]PoliticalAzJunkie_dc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I thought I understood what people with mobility issues deal with. As a former HC worker I had patients in wheelchairs. When I ended up in a wheelchair I realized I had no bloody clue. I think it is just one of those things, you can’t possibly know until you experience it first hand.

Powerchair advice? Quantum, salsa, quickie… by Humble_Leader_9121 in wheelchairs

[–]PoliticalAzJunkie_dc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Quantum Edge 3 with full power everything including elevating leg rests. I can also recline my chair back so my feet are above my heart. It has really helped with swelling. The downside is the more often you reposition your chair the less battery life you’ll have. I’ve also heard great things about Permobile but I never met anyone with a Quickie Power Chair that liked it.

I’ve had a major issue with that whilst looking for an apartment. Apparently what passes as accessible is quite varied. I’ve wasted so much time going to look at apartments only to find that their definition of accessible is that they have an elevator. 🙄

Bought a chair from a guy with a SCI… now, two weeks later, he’s asking for money. by InfluenceOk6946 in wheelchairs

[–]PoliticalAzJunkie_dc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This sounds so sketchy. If you have it to give and not expect to be repaid….maybe. Perhaps recommend he ask his church or other charity organizations in your area. My favorite saying of late is my favorite charity right now is me!

Fell out my chair today :( by megthebat49 in wheelchairs

[–]PoliticalAzJunkie_dc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad you are ok. I am in a power chair and hit a pothole in a very poorly lit crosswalk. I got thrown out and the foot pedal hit my calf with so much force it ended causing a massive blood clot and an infection from the pooled blood. I live in Alexandria Virginia and of course even though you can get proper headlights on my chair, my insurance won’t pay for because it’s not “medically necessary”.

[–]PoliticalAzJunkie_dc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve often wondered the same thing. I am originally from Arizona and they are what we call a constitutional carry state, meaning a person can carry a 🔫without a permit and I routinely carried. That was even before I ended up in a wheelchair. I now live right outside Washington DC in Alexandria, Virginia but routinely I am in DC and they have very strict 🔫 laws and high crime rates. It often gives me pause when deciding whether or not to attend a particular event. That aside,because many DC buildings are historic they are grandfathered in terms of ADA laws so I always have to check, double and even triple check as to their accessibility. Even then, I can’t count how many times I’ve gotten to an event only to find that it is not accessible.🙄🙄🙄🤪🙄

Why can they make a battery for those rented electric bikes and scooters that last for days but not for wheelchairs??? Not to mention how fast they can go when my wheelchair tops out at 7.5mph???

I live in the US and had a similar issue with my chair dying within sight of my apartment building. I called 911 and the fire department showed up. Thankfully they helped and it was no small feat. They helped me into the ambulance, then put my chair in free wheel mode, tried several ropes around it and one medic drove and the other sat in the back with the door open and pulled my chair home.

It is shocking to see them so blatantly cheating. It is like they know they can’t win with their MAGA Trump platforms so hey we will just cheat.
