Ask The Real Live Guy In A Real Wheelchair.

…OK. But only if there is candy corn! I have a hankering for it.

Hooray! Yet another reason to vote for Obama’s reelection. :wink:

Splain to me what a Medicaid waiver means?

It means they will provide everything I need to stay in my home,

wheelcaif lift
stair-glide
wheel-in shower
visiting nurses
meals and cooking help
housecleaning help

wow!

Are you obliged to exclaim “Helloooooooooooooo nurse!!!” everytime a Medicaid waiver-thin nurse arrives at your home?

That’s awesome.

I highly recommend that you follow up on the latest treatments that are clearly medically necessary, including a kegerator and a hot tub.

Congrats on the chair, and the waiver, and the awesome attitude. You’re proof that what happens to you in life, can either grind you down, or polish you into a gem!

(The only Halloween costume you should consider is tank, I believe. Just a cardboard shell that sits over you and is easily flung off to reveal a handsome soldier! You could get the cartoon watchers to help you build/decorate it. Plus, sounds like you’re about to be getting some great big cardboard boxes, coming your way!)

Oh I have the next two Halloweens covered!
:smiley:

Now that’s the Brian we all know and lovel. Good job.

See you soon.

Yippee!

Ellen, his mind is fine, it’s his body that’s betraying him. It’s not that hard to pronounce “Cherry”. :smiley:

Brian, hell of a thing. Please do not stop posting here. Find a way. Always find a way.

A lift requires power, a ramp does not. In the case of a fire / power outage / sudden need to get the f**k away from the domicile, ramp trumps lift every time. Press the powers that be when they come to survey and decide to articulate and cite proof that you won’t be housebound during a fire with a lift.

Sex is overrated. Cuddling is not.

ETA: That’ll teach me to post without reading full thread… :confused: How is the lift working out? What CAN you do if there’s a loss of power?
