I did a little wheelchair deer hunting today. I got a stuck in the mud for a while, but the iBot came through for me. Was Kim as impressed as I was? Not really.

About Me
- Enjoying the Ride
- Before my diagnosis I had a Chemical Engineering degree, an MBA, and a promising career. I had an amazing wife and two wonderful children (still do). I had a nice house with a swimming pool, a big lawn, and a bunch of toys. I was living the dream. I enjoyed a variety of physical activities such as golf, camping, hunting…driving, typing, and dressing myself. Then one day as I was jogging on my treadmill I noticed that my left foot went slap, slap, on the treadmill, whereas my right foot smoothly transitioned from heel to toe, heel to toe. After a year of visits to an assortment of specialists, I was diagnosed with Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis, a particularly disabling variety of MS. Twelve years later I sit here in my power wheelchair, dictating to my computer because my hands won’t allow me to type more than a couple of words. I can’t work anymore, and my wife now doubles as my caregiver. I’ve started this blog to help me pass the time while engaged in a productive activity- advocating for the disabled community, of which I am now a reluctant member. I am Mitch, and despite everything I am still Enjoying the Ride.
Gee, I wonder why? That's going to take some time to clean up.
ReplyDeleteI just realized how narrow the iBot wheels are. They appear much narrower than my power chair. Maybe you can find some aftermarket mud tires like the monster trucks use, lol.
So who gets to clean up the mess? Are you able to get the hose out and do the job? LOL
ReplyDeleteIf not, perhaps one of your hunting buddies could come over. Certainly your wife shouldn't have to clean it up for you.
Mitch,
ReplyDeleteHow many times do I have to tell you to stay out of the barn yard with that thing. What does the iBOT manual say about getting poop off your tires?
Charlie
I totally agree with Webster :-) The iBot is now clean...
ReplyDeleteMethod(s) used:
Step 1 - paint scraper, cleaning brush, & nail all to be used while iBot remained in garage;
Step 2 - 409, cleaning brush, & sponge with iBot in shower stall w/ handheld shower wand
Step 3 - bathroom cleaner, cleaning brush, sponge (for clean-up of said shower stall)
Step 4 - broom & dustpan (cleaning of garage floor)
what do you think.... Should the facilitator of this operation be taken to lunch or provided some other luxury as payment? :-)
