I was injured in 1980 in an auto accident, I was a para for two months and got back full function of my left leg, my right is about 20%. All the years of walking with an improper gate my lower back is shot. On my best day a short walk can cause alot of inflamation that puts prsure on my lower cord. To say the least, i can to even stand. This brings me to my last atemp to try for a power chair. I was denied again. My upper body is functional but now too much pushing is causing discomfort. I am in the process of buying a kit from a company and am going to install it on my Invacare Tracer EX chair. The kit is cheep concidering the price of a cheep electric chair. I will keep you all abrest with my progress. There might even be a story on the site about my Electric Adventure! regards to all Dominick I am on of the fortunate ones with a Hemi-para problem.

This is one of the things that we have been telling people. This issue is not just a Medicare issue. Insurance companies and other funders follow the lead of Medicare. There is a tremendous trickle down. Good news Starlord! This is one of the things that we have been telling people. This issue is not just a Medicare issue.

At first, the insurance company denied the scooter, citing the medicare regulation about in the home use. Later on, I was contacted again, (after i had sent a couple of nastygrams to the insurance company CEO,) and was told that htere had been changes and I would be receiving a scooter. It took some time, and a few wrong turns, but I now have the use of a Pride Victory scooter that allows me to get out of the house once in a while. Needless to say, this has brought a big relief to a bad case of 'cabin fever.' My doctor prescribed a scooter for me, due to multiple problems.
