When Luna was disturbed from her nap by the toddler making loud monster truck noises. This was a couple years ago now, but I saw this group and thought you all would appreciate this picture.

I’ve been waiting for a while and am excited my quickie Q300m mini finally came. So happy it fits throughout my house with the doors. 😁 2 /4 of my cats have already tried chilling on it, too.

I found the jansport adaptive bags fit well, but I need to find more accessories. Not sure where to look. I need seat covers, headrest covers, and a phone and cup holder too. If anyone has suggestions, I’d appreciate it!

I’m just so happy to have a tilting chair now, I needed it so badly.

His favorite spot next to me on the bed 🧡

Mr Flippy is blind, deaf and has CH. but he has a very pampered happy life here. He doesn’t lack for anything in his 6 years here. Lots of cozy safe naps 🧡🧡🧡

She’s an elegant lady. Most of the time.

My power wheelchair was approved by insurance recently. It is being built basically right now, and I am waiting for the company to call for the next steps.

My question: what are some must ask questions for when they bring the wheelchair over to my home? The only wheelchair I have owned in the past was a pre owned Eagle HD wheelchair. I really do need the tilt / recline features so it’s a more complicated chair than the eagle. I know it is custom measured for me, but how do I know if something is off? I am used to sitting in a chair that is not comfortable and too big for me.

This is my first time going through the insurance process so I want to make sure I ask the right questions while I have the workers in the home. Thank you!

This is the chair and company in question:

Mr Flippy is a wobbly cat, and he is blind and deaf. I thought you all would appreciate him. 🧡🧡🧡

More square ish today, last week more round. Just jojoba oil on the nails, no other product. I don’t use nail polish.

My nail beds are very short from previous biting and poking under with wooden sticks. (Yes, I’ve stopped) I’m not really planning on having my nails be too much longer than the length they are right now. I have had almost no free edge for most of my life so this is new to me.

I’m wondering, what is the safer shape to maintain? And I know this is probably silly, but because I’m not used to more nail length, I’m still learning how to navigate without bonking the nails too much. Like I was used to just reaching for my hairbrush without worrying about it getting stuck under the nail. Certain things are easy to change - using tools to open cans for instance. Other things I’m still learning the hard way by bumping the nails.

I am probably overthinking this. But any advice is appreciated. I just don’t want to make anything worse.

He’s actually blind, deaf and has CH. Poor guy has a lot going on. But he’s still, well, an orange cat and chills on his heating pad for his daily existential crisis.

I spent many years being unkind to my nails, really. Biting, picking and digging. Only in the last year did I start to apply oil consistently and gently nudge the cuticles back; also use petroleum ointment as it prevents me from picking. Feel like I can see a difference. The last two nail pictures are from when I was still biting my nails about 4 to 5 years ago.

Still working on resisting digging under my nails and not really great at rounding out my nails with a glass file. I have figured out a rounded file works better for me.

I am continually working on improving my nail health, but wanted to share.
