Wheelchair Accessories... No More Retired Cowboys
There have been so many advancements in wheelchairs lately…they're no longer those large, wooden contraptions that retired cowboys would be pushed around in.
Today, wheelchairs are highly advanced marvels of technology. Users can enjoy great comfort and mobility AND independence when they find a wheelchair that fits their lifestyle and needs. And what's more, there are many wheelchair accessories that you can choose from to make your chair customized the way you want it:
For example, even though you are able to get around with the best of them now, you are still sitting down and that can hard on your back, legs, hips, and thighs. Medical cushions give you great comfort and support while reducing the risk of what can be called "bedsores" (which are sores caused by constant pressure). Your wheelchair may be comfortable now but it will be even more comfortable with a cushion to support you. These cushions are also helpful if you need just a couple extra inches of height (for example, if you find that you are banging your elbows when you want to roll your wheelchair).
Why should you consider this accessory over a cushion you find in the house? These cushions are cut especially for the wheelchair and they are often made of medically-certified foam while many household cushions are filled with feathers, down, or other material. The cushion from home will get lumpy and there could be a reduction in how sanitary it is, while custom wheelchair cushions remain firm and supportive and much more sanitary.
Another accessory to consider is a ramp. While ramps are sometimes overlooked at accessories to wheelchairs (because you can't attach them to your chair and they are often permanently attached to buildings), you can still by non-permanent heavy duty ramps that allow you to wheel your chair up a curb or into the back of a truck or van. There are small ramps to get over small heights like door thresholds and there are larger ramps to get up stairs or into vans. Many ramps are built to be kept near the place you'll use them most but there are some portable ramps (for example, briefcase sized ramps that extend) allowing you to carry a ramp with you wherever you go.
A third accessory to consider is a wheelchair lift that you hook your wheelchair to in order to move it into a vehicle. This is a helpful device if you find your wheelchair to be too heavy to lift or move around. The lift can be attached right inside your vehicle and simply picks your wheelchair off the ground and hauls it inside. (Of course, the lift is designed to move the wheelchair only…not the user as well).
There are so many other accessories, including cup holders, fishing rod holders, trays, and different types of foot rests, leg rests, and bracing. You can really make your wheelchair your own…which will help you find great enjoyment in getting around.

Savage Monster
I made a huge mistake last month, whilst backing my pickup out of the drive I accidentally drove over my sons nitro rc car, I guess we were both to blame as he shouldn't have left it on the drive and walked away, and I should have looked before reversing because it's not the first time a toy has been obliterated by a 2 ton pickup truck. Anyway before the situation got out of hand I said I would replace the car and put it down to experience. Had I known how much it had cost I might not have been so quick to suggest it.
My sons nitro car was a top of the range Traxxas Revo that had been upgraded with loads of trick items, just like a real car, it had extra horsepower, a tuned exhaust and suspension upgrades for a start. When the list was done and I saw how much I would have to spend I started looking to save a few bucks. " Can you not salvage any of that from the old car?" "No" was the reply.
I was looking at a bill for £570, not small change. I thought for a while and it occurred to me that this might be covered under our household insurance accident policy, sure enough after a call to the insurance broker it was confirmed, someone would be sent to see the car and we would get a cheque. Great. So I was happy, my son was happy to be getting a brand new car and my wife was furious for the expected hike in our insurance policy.
My son started to look online for a good deal for his new car and as many upgrades or 'hopups' that he could get.
I am no stranger when it comes to cars; I have my own truck a HPI savage X, which is pretty expensive too. So I paid attention to how he was upgrading his car, and got a little jealous that my car was still factory-standard. When my son had finished building and tweaking his car we took it out on the dirt for a test drive. He still had to break the car and engine in so it would only be a 'taster' of how well the car would perform. It didn't disappoint. My son is at the stage where he could build a complete car from scratch and have it tuned and ready to run in a few days, which is quite an achievement considering how many parts are involved.
Think of how many teens just sit around and play driving games without any understanding of a car and it's set up.
And a quality nitro rc car is about the same price as a Playstation or Nintendo but a nitro car can become a passion not an addiction. Do your teenager a favour, get them out of the 2 dimensional world of television and into the real world, they will thank you for it later.
