What kind did u get?

i had a aero z series 2, got it back in 2011, then in 2017 i got the aero t, i love it, it is such a strong responsive chair and looks cool too !

It's been a long while since a new video. They are very good and informative. Keep them coming. I hope all is well!!

Hi, just came across your channel and you have some top tips. Hope to see some more soon - stay healthy! 🇬🇧

Thank you! More content coming soon I know we've said this before, but we actually filmed a new video the other day but then realized a lot of the angels with the camera we used were gonna work so we gotta redo it but hopefully this week!

good video, there isn't a whole lot of info, and your doctor doesn't always tell you, you have choices in chairs, while I was approved for a power chair and a manual, not at the same time, I wish I knew I had choices, so yes, this is informative.

I have been using a Power Chair since 2012, and my Muscles have gotten much weaker, since I obviously don't push myself. I just got a new Power Chair. However, I tried to be switched to a Manual, but the Medical Rehab place said that Medicare won't pay for one, unless I can prove that I am able to push in it. I can't. Now, my question to them was, How can I ever get my strength back, if I can't be approved, for a Manual. They said that I have to go through Physical Therapy to get stronger, and once the Therapist approves it, then I can get one. So, instead of waiting, I'm just going to save up for my own!

This is the video I was looking for before I had my eval! Great info and thanks so much for making it!!! I hope you love your new chair when it comes!

Thanks for the info. I am meeting with PT for a seating clinic and my ATP tomorrow. I hope my Inss covers what I need and want without being a pain. lol.

That’s interesting I’ve never had to do it this way, I’ve always had to just get a script from my PCP

Ahh thank you for the kind words!

The only reason I encourage others to save and buy their own if they have money socked away ...is because if the insurance is a stickler for making you wait 5 years...and the chair is too wide and will hurt your shoulders, or cause shoulder injuries; or if you need a more rigid contoured back to keep your spine from curving; or a new cushion because let's say you have a foam one and you get a pressure sore, they'll make you sit and suffer rather than prevent issues. I said the heck with that and just bought my own manual chair, the deep contour Jay 3 back, power assist wheels, a contour cradle head rest and a Nexus Spirit ROHO cushion. My neck is a mess...I couldn't get them to buy one and they are less than $200.00. It's all about money today. This year will be 5 years...but at least I don't have to play their games...or wait 30 days to see if they will pay for this or pay for that.

I agree that jumping through insurance hoops can be a pain.. I was able to get some of the things I wanted covered by insurance and paid for some out of pocket as well

I love numotion. Only downside is they do not have electrice wheels so I ended up with a smart drive. Which I struggle with. But over all love them

It's actually almost the same here in Sweden. Same people involved almost the same steps minus the doctor. But much shorter process time. Good luck

I pray you get your wheelchair asap but its a need not a want , in my opinion most insurance companies take forever to get things happening for people.

for me it's a need and a want... always looking on how to improve

I really hope you have better luck with Numotion than I did, after you get your chair you need to make sure all the bolts and nuts are tightened down and that they didn't leave anything out. As they did with my chair, it was missing bolts on delivery. Then trying to get them to honor the warranty was a joke. If you haven't noticed they delete all negative comments from there reviews...

I'll let you know how things go for sure!

What's up with your latest video just the intro?

The chair I got 2&half yrs ago. It's a Ti lite. I want my Quicky back. I've had more trouble with this chair then all my Quicky's in the past 24yrs. And I still have 2&half yrs to deal with this chair. Its irritating. But I will take it 1 day at a time til then.

what kind of issues have you had with the TiLite? I used to have quickies and always thought they had to many parts and maintenance and upkeep was aggravating?

I know exactly what you mean! I just got a new Power Chair, and I hate this one! I believe the Insurance Company's down-grade their equipment, because they don't want to spend any money, but who is using the Chair? Them, or us!

Did you get your new chair yet? Hope so! Would love an update. I'll be getting mine by the end of this month (fingers crossed) and it's a manual folded *red* Tilite with solid removable back, molded seat cushion and a smart drive I qualified for. (Chair all customized for myself. Paraplegic). I've been through all that process you've talked about several times with getting a new chair. This time around has been the biggest pain of emotions of 17 months while the other times just took a few to several months for the whole process.

I use a Ti-lite chair, and I've noticed you use a per4max chair. Ive been wanted a per4max day chair for a while since they're lighter. Would you recommend Per4max for day chairs? I have a per4max ball chair but I don't know if I should get a per4max day chair or not.

For the chairs I've had, the casters started wobbling when the bolts got loose (the chair I have right now is currently dealing with it in one caster, and it drives me nuts because although I have the ability to fix it myself, I don't have the right tools to do so). I've also heard that it can also happen if the casters aren't lined up right, or the caster bearings need to be replaced, or if there's debris stuck around the caster axle (I haven't experienced any of these three, but I've heard they are things that can cause caster wobble).

Hi there long time no see

yes for sure!! haha

I don't get it...you can lease a car every year...why does a chair have to be every 5 years? You know what gets me the most...people you meet with are ALL WALKING and don't have to sit in the chair day i and day out. It's like referring stuff in a different language than you speak. Bottom line...the control freaks don't truly know what we need. By the way, are you in the states? It makes a difference.
