Osteoporosis

Hi, my name is Mightymouse4. I'm here because

I can’t believe I am going through with it but I am. I am breaking all my bonds in this world and feel terrible for what I’m about to do but there’s no other possible solution. Not sure when or how but it’s on, and soon, man.

My fiancé and I have had a major blow up today and I am triggered, triggered, triggered. I don’t feel like he is being honest and actually it’s ok. The arguing is over and I can be free, finally.

I’m going to miss the real and only true love of my life and that is my dog, Sam. I have to believe he will be ok. I am praying our souls will remember each other in our next life together because I am determined to seek him out. I feel like we’ve been traveling together for eternity. Surely, we will continue to do so.

I am so happy to have had the opportunity to share my experiences here. More love and acceptance with the Mighty peeps than anywhere else! Much love to you all and please continue to support each other with love and compassion. That’s the only way. Until we meet again ❤️🙏😘 #SuicidalThoughts #PTSD #Depression #Anxiety #Osteoporosis #SpinalStenosis #chronic pain

#MultipleSclerosis I formed this group for I did not find any for those living with osteoporosis. I called this new group: "Living with Osteoporosis". The goal for this group is like other groups in that it is a space to discuss any and all difficulties with this condition. There are many people who have it and I am among them. Apparently, my case is severe enough to take medication for it. Who out there has had difficulties with this? If so, what are they?#Anxiety #Arthritis #ChronicFatigueSyndrome #CommonVariableImmuneDeficiency #ComplexRegionalPainSyndrome #CoronaryHeartDisease #CrohnsDisease #CheckInWithMe #CheerMeOn #MightyTogether #MyCondition #MultipleSclerosis #MoreDiseases #ChronicIllness #ChronicIllness #Osteoporosis #Other #ChronicObstructivePulmonaryDisease #Fibromyalgia #Endometriosis #EhlersDanlosSyndrome #UlcerativeColitis #RheumatoidArthritis

I’m tired of trying. Ready to throw in the towel. Getting my will notarized and saying goodbye to this cruel world soon. The suicidal thoughts will never cease. I’ve had them since I was as young as I can remember. And here I am at 55 wanting to just go away, be gone. As trite as it sounds, everyone will be much happier without me.

Hi, my name is Nanook.

I’m proud for making myself go walking alone without my fiancé (he was working) and instead with my dogs only the last two mornings. That’s pretty remarkable considering I don’t have great balance and have fallen several times when walking (I still have drop foot even after lumbar fusion). I logged a mile each day.

I’m also proud for getting up early, getting chickens out and fed, and making breakfast for my fiancé’s son before dropping him off at school. I spent yesterday planting some tea plants, starting some seeds and repotting a couple of other plants. I haven’t been able to do this in years!!!! Natural therapy 😊🌻☀️

Time management, depression, and distraction in addition to physical pain can be difficult for me to cope with. But, I did all of it and am so happy to have given myself these opportunities to grow.

if you want to share your experiences on this post with good days and days that aren’t so good, feel free to do so!

I had a creative and fun day yesterday in making more bases for my herbal products. I worked steadily and took breaks when I felt my body needed it. My fiancé delivered an order for me so I was very happy for his help and the order! I thoroughly enjoyed being in my zone and making things.

However, I am extremely sore and exhausted today. I got up early to help get my fiancé’s son to school, made his breakfast, let the chickens out, and could barely make it through those few things. Everything hurts so much, I am back in bed.

The “not knowing” part of how I am going to feel the next day gets old and it’s disheartening and it’s difficult to overcome the depression that goes with it. I’ve lost time with family and friends, plus, lost time I could have spent on projects or plans because of it.

I know you know what I’m talking about. Just wanted to share this with you today in case it could be helpful to know you’re not in this alone.

I'm looking for the perfect electric wheelchair for my wife's grandmother, who is in her 90s. Despite her age and challenges like osteoporosis, she still dreams of stepping outside and enjoying the world. Even a short stroll in the nearby park has become difficult. I believe that mobility should never be a shackle for our elders, and I'm determined to find a wheelchair that offers safety, comfort, and true freedom. Below is a detailed guide that highlights the key factors I'm considering:

1. Brake System

Reliable and Safe Braking Function

To ensure my grandmother can stop immediately in an emergency, most modern electric wheelchairs now feature a "raise-hand brake" design. This means that when she lifts her hand, the system automatically engages the brakes, preventing the wheelchair from moving unexpectedly.

Real-Life Scenario:

Imagine her shopping at a supermarket or navigating a narrow corridor—there might be moments when she needs to halt quickly to avoid obstacles or crowds. A responsive and easy-to-use braking system can greatly reduce the risk of falls or collisions, providing her with enhanced safety during daily outings.

2. Stability Design

Balanced Center of Gravity and Anti-Tip Features

A good electric wheelchair should have a well-designed center of gravity. Look for models that include anti-tip wheels, which help maintain balance during turns or on uneven surfaces, preventing the wheelchair from tipping over.

Real-Life Scenario:

While out and about, my grandmother could encounter various conditions—gentle slopes, uneven pavements, or even the tight spaces inside her home. A robust stability design with anti-tip features would let her move confidently, knowing that the wheelchair will remain steady and safe under different circumstances.

3. Portability and Weight

Overall Weight

For someone who may need to move frequently or use public transportation, a lightweight wheelchair is crucial. A lighter design makes it easier to maneuver both at home and while on the go. I'm particularly interested in carbon fiber models, as they tend to be lighter and offer enhanced strength.

Folding Functionality

Check whether the wheelchair can be easily disassembled and folded. A well-engineered folding mechanism ensures that the chair is simple to store when not in use and more convenient to transport in a vehicle.

Real-Life Scenario:

Imagine my grandmother visiting friends or attending a hospital appointment. She may need to board a bus or store the wheelchair in a compact space. A design that emphasizes portability and a lightweight structure will greatly boost her independence and make her outings more enjoyable and stress-free.

4. Battery and Charging

Battery Type

Electric wheelchairs typically use either lead-acid or lithium batteries. Lithium batteries are usually lighter and more durable, making them a better choice for long-term use and for users who move around frequently—ideal for someone like my grandmother.

Charging Time and Endurance

It's important to consider how long the battery takes to charge and the distance it can cover on a single charge. A shorter charging time reduces downtime, ensuring the wheelchair is ready when needed, while a strong endurance performance guarantees that she can complete her daily outings without worry.

Real-Life Scenario:

If my grandmother plans to be out for an entire day, the ideal wheelchair should support her journey on a full charge. Features like quick charging or backup power options are essential to prevent unexpected battery depletion, ensuring that her travel experience remains safe and uninterrupted.

Summary

When selecting an electric wheelchair for my grandmother, I'm focusing on these key factors:

Brake System: Look for a model with a "raise-hand to brake" feature for quick and reliable stopping in emergencies.

Stability Design: Ensure the wheelchair has a balanced center of gravity and anti-tip wheels to maintain stability in various conditions.

Portability and Weight: Choose a lightweight, easily foldable model—especially one made with durable materials like carbon fiber—for effortless maneuverability and storage.

Battery and Charging: Opt for a wheelchair with a lightweight, durable lithium battery, and pay attention to both the charging time and the overall endurance, to support longer trips.

By carefully considering these aspects and envisioning real-life scenarios, I hope to choose a wheelchair that not only ensures my grandmother's safety but also enhances her quality of life by allowing her to experience the beauty of the world with confidence. I'm eager to hear any model recommendations or further advice from the community as I continue my research.

I hope this guide resonates with others who are also seeking the best for their loved ones!#Wheelchair
