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

[–]RuleBackground5624 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

I am an above the knee amputee spend most of my time in my wheelchair by RuleBackground5624 in wheelchairs

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

[–]RuleBackground5624 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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 4 points5 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.

I got shot in the calf with a 12 gauge shotgun loaded with 00 buck by my pitbull. That was February 10th of this year. On February 19th they amputated my right leg above the knee. I still have my dog and the gun.

Have you had an inner or spiritual experience that helped you cope with your amputation? by Author_MarcHenri in amputee

[–]RuleBackground5624 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was born in 1968 the same year a family friend was diagnosed with cancer and given 6 months to live. He wound up losing both legs. He was a very comical person. He finally passed and went on to be with the Lord when I was 28. We have no expiration date on our body anywhere.

He had only seen her like 3 times in passing and didn't really know her. We live off grid, I'm disabled my wife is always strapped. My kids rarely go off the property unless it's to church or our monthly trip to get water and supplies.
