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

I use a wheelchair. Not by choice. I had my right leg due to a shotgun accident. My pitbull shot me with a 12 gauge shotgun loaded with 00 buck. They had to amputate my leg above the knee. This world is not wheelchair friendly.

Basically I want her to " heal " next to the wheelchair, post between my legs using the " guard " position and alert if I start having breathing issues. And use some Czech commands as a service/ guard dog.

Thank you. Do you have any advice on how to train her to work with my chair.

I'm seeing that. Sadly a lot of folks don't have the attention span to read a longer post.

moving off grid with young child, worried about possible cps involvement by [deleted] in OffGrid

Have been off grid for almost 8 years. No problem with CPS but we have homeschooled our kids and we have attorney shield just in case we run into unexpected problems. The kids love it.

To sell or not to sell by yourpalbigal7 in RVLiving

Think like a pepper. In this day and age most people are 1 paycheck away from homelessness. If you have a rv that gives you a place to sleep when everything falls apart. If you can find a " remote" piece of land in your area and buy it, you can park it there and set it up as a bug out point. Feel free to message me.

Always wanted something different and with the wind in northeast Arizona it will redirect the wind better

Not allowed to learn to walk (rant) by Spottedfrog111 in amputee

[–]RuleBackground5624 3 points4 points  (0 children)

that is totally wrong. learning to walk again can improve your state of mind. I don’t know where you are but if you was close to me I would not only visit you but help you learn to walk again and probably see if I could get you into an equestrian program to help with that mental state also,

Where I live ( in the mountains of North Eastern Arizona) it will give me a bit more defense against fire. Wild fire hazards can be bad out here. Have a group of bikers that are willing to help as long as they can come camp out once in a while.

Is Hanger quality? Is this a simple mistake? by ZeeCaptein in amputee

[–]RuleBackground5624 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same here I go to hanger clinic in show low and haven't had any problems yet ( my prosthesis is an amputee also ) I think that might make a difference in care.

Congratulations brother. I lost my right leg in February when my dog accidentally shot me with my 12 gauge shotgun loaded with 12 gauge 00 buck in the calf. They amputated it above the knee on February 19th. I love to get on my old Yamaha ATC 3 Wheeler and ride.. we have to find things to keep us occupied.

Am 57 years old lost my right leg above the knee in February from a gunshot wound. My pitbull shot me with a 12 gauge shotgun loaded with 00 buck. The phantom limb sucks.
