powerchair users i need your help!!

all the advice for new wheelchair users is for manual users, and i've found absolutely no advice or people showcasing their accessories and fun gadgets to personalise their powerchairs

i got my first powerchair today, a KWK D09, and i'm looking for as much advice as i can soak in, and if you have personalised your chair could you tell me about it?

I have an electric wheelchair since today!!

And it's totally me, it's literally Lime/neon green.

I was like, if I'm gonna have one, it needs to represent me.

It's super light and you can unfold it by simply pulling on a string.

I recommend the brand to everyone who is looking for one that they don't need all the time, but like one to go to places, you can also use it in the house, it has a very precise turning point and you can roll it behind you like a suitcase when it's folded.

I've seen black, blue, grey and green ones

It's called Joyrider, you also have the Splitrider. The difference is literally just that with the splitrider you can also take the back wheels off so it's even lighter to pick up.

There's also the Zinger, but that one works with only handles that you push down to ride instead of a joystick and it wasn't my thing.

But here it isssss:

been considering if an electric wheelchair would be beneficial to me but theyre expensive and my mom would HATE that i would be more "helpless" if i didnt push myself.

the thing is pushing my wheelchair hurts my arms and my fingers so realistically an electric would be better. i also get insanely tired from pushing myself. but my mom.

i had to watch her go through the stages of grief over me first needing a wheelchair in general and i dont want to feel that kind of guilt and fear again over needing smth to help me.

ugh.

You know an absolutely soul crushing thing I realised. I am going to be in pain for the rest of my life whether I get better or not. Cuz I was in pain even BEFORE I got chronically ill and now I am just in more pain. Even if I get better, and end up with only extremely mild Me/cfs symptoms, I will still be in pain. I will still get chronic headaches and joint pain and probably a bunch of other stuff too. It won’t just be the autism making me disabled, it will still be everything else and probably more as I get older. I may never get to the point of not having a wheelchair on hand if I need it. I may never get to the point of not needing a cane for stability or pain. I may never get to the point of being back to my ‘healthy self’ because I was never 100% healthy to begin with. I probably needed a cane long before I got sick. I will need one for the rest of my life too.

I am fucking 18 years old, and I will forever be managing my symptoms. Through the good times and the bad, I won’t ever be ‘healthy’ enough to be able bodied anymore.

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??????

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

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??
