How amazing was that!? what an awesome group of friends and people and all the great help! I'm not sure I could have done such a trip without tons of pain meds but boy that sure did look fun! This was like watching a documentary! what a wonderful job you did Dan. I really enjoyed this and I felt like I was sorta there. Thank you for this.

IMHO, the "support" staff are the ones who probably needed the pain meds, carrying, pushing, organizing everything. The team had it easy, just sitting in chairs (joking!!!! I know personally the pain of traveling, transfering, strange beds, food, just being away from home).

Oh man.. that was great. It's exactly like when get to boccia world championships.. only except soccer chairs we carry boccia ramps and equipment. Very similar vibes and struggles lol

Wish I lived in the USA, you guys have sooo much fun. Only fun I get is pushing a guy in a manual wheelchair uphill, because he was exhausted and there was people just looking at him and watching, I got behind him in my powerchair and used my knees to push him all the way home and when I looked at my battery indicator it was almost drained, luckily for me, it was down hill all the way. Thanks Dan, great video 👍

I am amazed at your "support" team. The way they hauled all the stuff, and moved all the equipment, luggage, etc. Worth their weight in gold. Well, I guess there was one who gave you the finger (you probably get that a lot). Or was that a secret soccer wave? Anyway, they moved with military precision. They almost made it look easy (and I know it wasn't). You know how to fix almost anything on a wheelchair, but did you travel with "spare" parts in case of equipment failure?
@TotallyNormal-2 ай бұрын
absolutely! we had an extra joystick in case anyone needed it - and spare soccer chair tires and other random parts - the soccer chairs were the most important thing on the way OUT there! (since they're the whole reason we went hah)

You need to bring your medical record, most none disabled don't understand your situation of not able balance, since your legs look heath and strong as normal, their is many bad people fake disabled/injury and cause overload service. As polio with small leg, but wear big pant, I'm always shift up haft of my leg to show them my brace and my small feet, some of them very happy because make their job easier and tell me that many people don't open like me and even feel "disrespect", because this help their job for security (our body have mental and provide right service (situation look none disabled like you). (Note: There is people don't really care security/overload job of others, they feel eye dirty when look at our ugly leg/brace). Hope this help.

Dan I need some advice. My Quantum Edge is too big to use in parts of my home so I daily use my Itty bitty Pride Go chair that I bought used several years ago. I need new batteries in the Go chair and need them before I open up the battery box. Nowhere can I find what batteries the Go chair uses. Will you please use your resources to help me find the battery type? I think it's the 22NF nut and bolt type but want to be sure before ordering.
@TotallyNormal-2 ай бұрын
its hard to tell which batteries it has inside without looking.. did ya get any of the manuals with the chair at all? its probably best to have a peek inside, before ordering potentially the wrong batteries and having to send them back etc..
@BamaRob2 ай бұрын
@@TotallyNormal- no manual. I bought it used to be able to get into places where my big chair can't fit. I'll try to find a friend to open the battery box before it dies so I can see what is in it. Thanks for the reply!
