Being a lefty the ink must be fast drying. Globs are out of the question. -
Pilot Dr. Grip is a thicker pen that you don't have to grip as hard. It helps with arthritis. It flows nicely too requiring very little pressure. If you like thinner pens (requires more grip), then Pilot G2 is a good choice.

I have the same diagnosis plus frozen shoulder and tears. They also said a replacement was the only option. But one doctor was also forthright enough to add that I probably wouldn't be happy with it. Since then I've gotten a lighter chair, a van, and a smart drive to take the load off my shoulders....Leave a comment:

If scratches are your concern, your footrest is the least of the problems. The handrims and front angle bend are far more apt to get scratched by doors, furniture, toilets... etc. What is your plan? Are you going to make peace with scratches or commit to maintain a scratch-free chair? The answer to...Leave a comment:

Florida real estate doesn't go up much. If you have to renovate not for luxury but to accommodate your SCI then you won't make it up on the sale. Hence, they give you a break. California is the place to be. More expensive but it pays off in the long run because California real estate prices always go...Leave a comment:

The bigger danger of picking up glass is tearing up your hands. That's why I treat my Marathons as if they were Primos (go flat easily)....Leave a comment:

If it's not a pump malfunction, it's always been related to the urinary tract for me. Kidney stones were the culprit last time. When that happens the dose really doesn't matter. Spasms will win....Leave a comment:

I have the baclofen pump. It's a great improvement in quality of life. Baclofen pills never did the trick but always created side effects. The baclofen pump is the way to go.
The downside to the pump is that pump failure leading to withdrawal is serious. It can lock up your muscles so strong...Leave a comment:

Good idea. It's hard to describe in words how good it feels to wake up feeling rested. But you know what I'm talking about....Leave a comment:

It was a long time ago. But if I recall correctly, there two studies in which I slept overnight at their office and they monitored the results. I suppose the second study must have been to test results with the mouthpiece....Leave a comment:

I have sleep apnea and use a mouthpiece for it. I still don't stay asleep and rarely wake up feeling rested. Taking baclofen at night helps me to sleep better and wake up feeling rested.Leave a comment:

Great selection. Sometimes the heavy duty grabber may be overkill. For example, reaching for items in the back of the fridge requires some additional reach for which the heavy duty grabber on a 36" steel pole would be awkward. I think I'll grab some different type grabbers off this website. Thanks!...Leave a comment:

That's the same design as the Unger just branded by Amazon. Looks like it's built just as well too. Great find! Amazon offers 2 for a little more than the price of 1 Unger. They also offer it in aluminum (standard model is steel) that is 2.2 oz lighter and could make a big difference to some people...Leave a comment:

Measuring the same way you show it's 34". The overall length is about 37". Here it is next to a yardstick.
By the way, I totally agree with your comment about the handle. I like holding the pole that is holding the load vs holding a pistol grip that is 90 degrees to the load....Leave a comment:

I'm impressed with the build quality and I'm not an easy customer to please. I just tried to see if I can pull the grip off the claw. Doesn't come off. It costs less than $20 in USA so it makes sense to buy a new one vs repair. Did you look at Unger's website (the link is in my original post)? They...

The rear is 0.5" closer to the floor than the front. That's with a 78 degree front angle bend and fixed angle footrest. The front and back of my shoe rest flat with my ankle in a normal position. With a 90 degree front angle bend my ankle would probably be extended on a fixed angle footrest. Hence,...Leave a comment:

Hi Mike. I had the the type in the link you provided. Price was right and it was portable so convenient for shopping as you note. But it's only good for small and light-weight items....Leave a comment:
