Ideas from those who know please :)?
I don't need the 'what happened' questions.....
But I have a gal in our trailriding club that was involved in a car wreck and is a quadrapalegic. *if you don't know what that is, please dont answer*
She went from trailriding to a electric chair, moving it with her mouth
She is wanting to of course get back into horses and all of us are racking our brains with ideas.
Of course driving is the only solution, she can't drive, it would be with a person at all times.
However, the wheelchair and her combined weighs 600lbs. Her wheelchair cost as much as my truck.
So for her to run up on a wagon, the suspension needs to be tremendous as to not raise the front up.
Does anyone know of any websites, contacts, advice for her family that they can check into wagons for this purpose?
I can find the teams, not a problem, but the wagon is.
Thanks to all the ones that are decent to answer ;)
Sorry, leaving the wheelchair isn't an option, she has to stay in it, or a bed.
Thanks tho, sorry i forgot to add that.
Fae-while I understand where your coming from, shes a 40 yr old woman, who doesn't want to fantisize on a video.
This can be a reality, with enough minds that have been through this before it can be done.
I'm not looking for Horwse or video game answers. honestly.......
My Father is Paralyzed From Chest Down and has medicaid but they wont pay for a new wheelchair what can i do?
My father was paralyzed in 2008 result of a car wreck. he is now collecting disability and has full medicaid. his mother passed away one year before he was paralyzed leaving behind a Jazzy (electric wheelchair) it is now becoming wore out and he would like to get a new one, but with his only income being disability and only insurance medicaid they wont pay for it, what does he need to do? is there any programs or support out there for him? he lives in Alabama any useful info would be greatly appreciated. thanks!
All great suggestions but the scooter store and others like it is for medicare only. he has medicaid not medicare, the only thing they will cover is your everyday wheelchair but considering he is paralyzed from chest down he has no balance or control over holding up his upper body meaning he has to use one hand to hold his self balance and the other to operate the wheelchair. I have spent hours on the phone with medicaid and all they do is give me the run around. call this # and call this # its all bull. I don't know what to tell y'all except don't get injured and not have some sort of insurance cause your government sure ain't gonna take care of you, other than his little nothing of a disability check 647$ a month come on who can live off of that he paid in way more then he's getting out but i guess they considering him being this way for the rest of his life but they wont buy him a wheelchair
