Can we get a power chair ver of the run over ableists meme as well :] thanks for doing those, I really feel seen!
Absolutely! I’m so glad that you guys are enjoying these, and I hope that you like this one as well! I’m planning on making some continuations using the various uses that you guys have suggested in your notes, so if there is anything that you want to see, please let me know!
Power Chair version (you are here!)
Wheelchair version
Crutch version
Cane version
White can version
Rollator version
[ID: An image featuring an edited version of the “Why Do We Have Hands” meme. The header says “Why Do We Have Power Chairs?” and is followed by a black and white cartoon image of a power chair. Underneath that reads “There Are Many Reasons”, and just below that is a series of four images with captions. They are all black and white and in a simplified style. The first image is of a person in a power chair. There are musical notes by their head to show that they are singing. The words being sung are “they see me rollin’, they hatin’”. The caption is “always ridin’ dirty”. The image to the right of it depicts a person running over another person with their power chair. The caption is “RUN OVER the ableist.” The third image to the bottom left is a close-up of the joystick of a power chair. The caption is “viddy game stick”. The fourth image to the bottom right is of a person in a power chair at a counter with another person standing behind it. The person standing is depicted as saying “It’s amazing that you can live like this”, while the person in the power chair is depicted as saying “I just want my fucking groceries”. The person in the power chair has a popping vein on their forehead to denote anger. The caption is “be an Inspiration™” /End ID]

My grandmas been having her drive redone. They left the apprentice behind to clean the house.
He hosed right around my wheelchair.
My electric wheelchair!
I stopped him as soon as I saw! Mum and I dried it off as fast as we could 😓
I’m so worried for it!

In case anyone else needs to know, to fix my stalled out permobil m3, my beautiful husband turned two knobs on the front and took the whole chassis off and then disconnected the power and reconnected it, forcing it to restart

Can anyone who uses a wheelchair (especially a motorized chair) please explain to me what the process was like to find the right chair?
I live in America and it seems that the doctors just want me to order one online without trying it at all, which seems insane for such a very very specific and very expensive medical device.
In order to find an office chair that didn't hurt my back, I went to every single furniture store in Chicago. So it seems wild that the selection process for something way more expensive and important would be so vague and confusing. I'm really scared that I'll get the wrong one.
How do you get the right wheelchair??????
#wheelchair users#wheelchair user#new wheelchair user#I'm finally about to hopefully move into housing that would allow a wheelchair to go in and out#i have needed a chair for 5 years and have been struggling painfully and enormously without one#and now I'm close to getting it and the process is not at all clear#original#help#crippled#cripple punk#disabled#wheelchair#motorized wheelchair#electric wheelchairs#mobility aids#electric wheelchair#powerchair

Today’s disabled character is “Sofia Verga” from series “Community Squad”.Sofia uses a wheelchair for mobility due to an automobile accident and she doesn’t like when people judge her from the wheelchair.So she tries to be as independent as possible.
Character played by Pilar Gamboa

I've seen a few people trying to decide between getting a mobility scooter and an electric wheelchair.
Mobility scooters are cheaper but both are expensive. I'm gonna tell you about my scooter and my experience with it. I have the CTM HS-115 scooter. She is red and has 3 wheels. I'll include photos at the end plus a bonus photo of my cat sitting on it.
Things:
The turning circle!!! My house has narrow passages and it can be quite difficult to maneuver the scooter because of the turning circle. Especially when I'm having a bad brain fog day. I have gotten better at maneuvering though.
Wheelchairs have a turning circle of themselves. My scooter has one that is I think around a metre? I don't remember, my memory is bad.
Also it has this really annoying function where it can't be pushed even on pushing mode if it isn't on perfectly flat ground because the automatic braking system kicks in.
I'd also have a look at the amount of rise any mobility aid you are looking at can go over because when entering inaccessible buildings (like my house, I have to lift it up/get someone else to lift it for me.
Some of these problems would not be fixed by getting not a mobility scooter but some would.
My back sometimes hurts if I'm in it for a while (because the back rest is not very tall) but I've fixed this by having a cushion and remembering to lean back all the way.
To be clear though I love my scooter. She is very useful and has loads of benefits.
And I don't know any of the downsides of a power chair because I have no lived experience with one.
She can go on pretty rough terrain. She's pretty sturdy. I've taken her to the park near my house and round my friend's garden. As well as more obvious places like the mall.
Only time I've had an issue was when I went to this very hilly place where the ground sloped to the side and then she didn't want to brake.
The driving system means I can switch which hand I use plus my friend can walk next to me and maneuver me.
There's enough space by my feet that I can put my backpack there too.
It's fit in every car I've tried it in with just regular disassembly. Except my friend's dad's two seater car but then he disassembled it more using Tools™ and it fit.
It has good battery life, it hasn't run out on me.
The system for viewing how much battery you have left is bad though. It has 3 lights (red, orange, green) and supposedly the green turns off then the orange then the red and it's dead. But me and my friends can never figure out which lights are on and which are off.
It has a blue warning light which flashes in various sequences when something is wrong. I've had the scooter for several months and have never had it flash.
Fastest speed is 6km/h which is like someone jogging.
I got them to remove the beeping it makes when it reverses because that was Terrible.
The only customisation I've done to mine so far is put stickers that tell me which direction (forwards or backwards) the controls make it go. Because it's the opposite on the left and right. Which makes it easier if you want to swap hands or have a friend maneuver you but I need the stickers to tell me which way to push or pull the lever.
I am looking for ideas on how to customise her so please give suggestions. If anyone has suggestions on how to make the back rest taller that would be so appreciated.
Please include your own advice in the reblogs/replies. Looking forward to advice for future wheelchair users who need it.

That's a playlist from the british youtuber Jessica Kellgren-Fozard. It's 4 videos of her trying out and picking a mobility aid. Includes useful advice and tips. And then 1 excellent video talking about mobility aids and "giving up". That video was quite useful in convincing various family members that that was not what I was doing by getting my scooter.
My scooter's name is Atalanta after the woman from Greek mythology who could run faster than any man. I think I'm very funny.
My cane is in the background of some of the photos because I rest it next to my scooter.

You know those long slopes that are actually steps set wide apart?
Yeah. I desperately want to wheel down them every time I pass.
Very bad idea. Very fun idea??

Survey for Past and Present Wheelchair Users
Hello, I am a university student that is part of a group looking to improve certain aspects of manual wheelchairs. We have created a survey for both manual and electric wheelchair users to learn about some of their likes and dislikes, wants and needs, and more about their experiences. Due to all the red tape around this project, I can only reveal so much but rest assured this survey is intended for educational purposes to better understand user experiences and to identify areas of improvement for manual and power-assisted wheelchairs. The survey is composed of 15 questions, many of them being multiple choice with a few short response questions. The estimated time of completion is 6-8 minutes. If you are a current or past wheelchair user and have a few minutes to spare, our team would greatly appreciate your input on your experience with a manual or electric wheelchair! Thank you in advance! https://forms.microsoft.com/r/fJZx2hC7MV
