Power Wheelchair Cover

I was diagnosed with Ataxia in 01 and my chair needed replaced. Instead I had mine overhauled. Now I'm worse off. The new moters went bad etc.. I should have gone ahead with the new one but I thought about the $'s.
Medicaid covered the 1st one and will pay for the new one. Do any of you no a phone # that will help me? Ive tried several, so has my primary doctor. We've have no luck at all. I'm in Jacksonville,Fl.
There must be one that I've missed.

I missed the question.

OK, you had a 7 year old chair overhauled, and now want a new one? So far, so good... except in most states, you better have great documentation that it is not working well before they buy you a new one.

So- do you need Medicaid's number? Usually, the process is for you to go to a wheelchair dealer (DME) and let them do that part. In most states, you personally cannot call Medicaid and get funding.

I LOVE THIS SONG! hahaha You can see it in 'my favourites' on my page; there is a video of Dinah Washington singing "Send Me to the ...

My husband and I are empty nesters in our early 50's. We own a home with a first mortgage of $130,000 at 4.625% and a Home Equity Line of Credit of $45,000 at 8%.

The house is worth about $400,000. We need cash for home improvements and to purchase a new $20,000 power wheelchair for me. Insurance will only cover $3,500 of the chair.

My husband is worried about retirement in 12 years and having a 30 year mortgage. We're not tied to the house and when he retires will probably sell.

Is Refinancing now to get cash out for our immediate needs a good choice or is there something else better to get the money we need? Like dipping into the Roth IRA.

Increase your credit line on the home to include the wheelchair. Pay additional principle if you can. You are at under 50% loan to value. When you sell and down size in 12-15 years you should be close to having your Equity Line paid off and depending on when you took outthe 130K loan (judging by the rate I would say 3-4 years ago) you will have it rduced as well.

Hope this helps and good luck

I am a 14 year old girl with mild cerebral palsy. I walk on my own around the house but use one crutch at school and pretty much everywhere outside of the house. I get tired VERY easily and cannot stand/walk for long periods of time because my legs and feet hurt. I have a few more years until college but I'm getting worried. There is no way I'm going to be able to walk around a huge college. I can't use a manual wheelchair because my arms get tired just as fast as my legs. My mom thinks I should just go to a small college and walk with my crutch, but I'm thinking "How small is small and will it be small enough to save the little stamina I have?" A power wheelchair would be a dream come true, but there's no way that insurance would cover it for someone who can walk on their own like me. Any suggestions?

P.S: I need something not too expensive-my family is middle class and we can't afford an expensive powerchair or something else.

One of my friends in college had severe CP. He was a full time student at my university, and he went to class, he lived in the dorms, he went to dances and club meetings.

Another friend had mild CP. He could walk with a cane, but not for long distances. He also was a full time student and had a social life on campus.

My campus was NOT small. 25,000 students on a campus that was fairly spread out.

The cool thing about most universities is that they will bend over backwards to accommodate you. You will need to tell them what help you need, and they will do their very best to provide it.

My friend lived in a dorm that had been adapted to house students who needed assistance, as well as people who did not. It was the closest dorm to campus, and was right on the campus bus route. The school had a van that also picked kids up at their dorms, and dropped them off at their classes, etc. All the buildings were accessible.

I think that you should look at any college that interests you, not thinking about your CP. As you find colleges you think you'll like, you should call their admissions office and find out what will be available to you on that campus. It may be as simple as making sure that you live in a dorm with an elevator, which is near to your classroom buildings, and giving you the schedule for the bus route. They may also offer shuttle busses and vans, direct door-to-door service, as my school did.

All sorts of assistance may be available to you. I think it would be bad to limit your choice of colleges right from the start to only those you can walk around independently. Put some of those in the mix, of course, but also consider other schools that seem harder to get around. You may be surprised at what assistance the school can give to you.

Ape o gay lisp now
a poem by El Penfold the Mexican American Wordsworth

All together now 1234

There was an ape his name was Greg
He had no job and had to beg
Worked as a rent boy poor young wisp
Smoked crack all day, spoke with a lisp
What can a crack smoking monkey do
Then he got a job with Yahoo
Cuthomer thersises it`s his job to say
How can I help you thoday
He knows they`re laughing behind their hands
They be thorry he`s the man
The power trip went to his head
He became a monkey god instead
Pulled a question, said it cheated,
Asked by Penfold the undeleted
Penfold was in smitey mood
And glared at Greg the monkey dude
Penfold raised his mighty hand
And sent a call across the land
He called on his minions three
Ride out and deal with this monkey
And so they bent to his command
And Greg was smitten by durdens hand
Jake and Mike cut off his knees
Sliced off his nose, and gave him fleas
And now he squirms and wriggles in despair
In his bogey covered wheelchair

A fit ending, methinks, yessirree,
Is to put him out of his misery.
This sorry miscreant of challenged letters,
Who dares delete the work of his betters,
To have him diced and sliced, and in a wheelchair confined,
Though covered with nasal detritus
Is way too kind.

If your thumbs you're going to twiddle
Whils't you extend your question a little,
I might as well spew from the keys.
I am Siamese if you please,
I am Siamese if you don't please.
Oh, never mind, yours is after all, a great little Ode,
And the saga should certainly be told.
I know it's a reach rhyming "ode" with "told"
But wtf I'm feeling bold.
And lapsing into doggerel,
LOL and what the hell.
Omfg will I be censored for this?
The category is what's amiss.
In R&S hell's okay to say,
But I'm not so sure about the Poetry
Section that is, will they be kind?
Or will I find myself in a bind?
I only make this modest suggestion,
To illustrate my Angst in answering this question.

You cannot obviously do away with your physical problems. See, however if you can arrange your treatments during non school hours.. You have too many activities during the school week. Eliminate some and transfer others if you can to non school days./
