MDJunction to me

scotty04901"MDJ to me is an added phase in my recovery as a 44 year survivor of a TBI. I hope that with what I have lived through in those years, will be able to help all those who are just now going through. It is important to understand that even after 44 yrs, I am continuing to recover and to evolve. I just hope I can help others." (scotty04901)

You guys should have seen the one my husbaand had. It was over sized and was all terrain. It could go up to 20 miles an hour. He had it because of his back surgery. But I had a blast on that! He now has a regular power chair, cause the other one was to hard to fit anywhere. The new one is good for getting around and is a normal size. If anyone has medicare, they paid for his, and the little that was left his insurance paid. Then there is a smaller on, I think its called GoGo, its a scooter and it is great faor when we go on cruises and you need to get a round in smaller spaces. But they all help you get around!!!

Hi Maggie

Yea I wouldnt want to try to do without either one of mine. I feel sorry for all those ppl out there that either cant get one or does not know about them and also portable 02 there are some companys out there that take ppl the concentrator and then the tanks that are too big to wag around u have to pull on cart or in wheelchair.Some of these copders dont know about the small tanks that let them get out easier.I have a good co. that makes sure I have what I need I am soo thankful for that. Dont forget to turn ur clock forward tonight.

Smile
