@Kaylaindiapers @cute little kokiri girl@Hya123
since I have been reading a lot of different stories by all three of you, I wanted to let you know that I have made one of my own. This is my first story, and it is based on a premise of a dream I keep having where I work really hard, and I'm not paying attention to myself, and I'm taking care of everybody else but myself. friends in the story see this, that I work with, and they hatch a plan to help me to relax and not to have to worry so much. they invite me to this incarnable dinner, and then to this awesome resort, little do I know that the plan is to make me totally relaxed, regressed, and able to enjoy myself, and everything that happens I can do, but it must be in diapers, and I cannot leave.
I hope you guys enjoy it: let me know what you think!
~Brian Dream Comes True~ A fantasy story about what I wish would happen

good evening all!
I have written my first story and I've placed it in the story and art form. please forgive the mistakes and errors as I continue to make it better. it's been a long time since I posted anything so long that was something that I wanted to continue to edit, but I've had issues with the flood protection trying to auto merge something together when I'm trying to ask a question under a story in the critique section.
Basically the story is something that I have been dreaming about for a long time. By this I mean that i've met so many good people here on daily diapers, and all of them have been very helpful very understanding very loving supportive and just being good old people, trying to help people understand what they're dealing with when you're dealing with incontinence and all the issues that go with it, or any of the other issues around being AB, DL Adult kid, or something else, and how all of these things work together. It's been interesting to say the least and I wouldn't trade anything that I've done so far for anything that has happened. I love it here
basically this is a dream that I have been having. I end up being noticed by many pretty ladies that I work with. I work very hard and I sometimes forget to take care of myself, and I take care of everyone ELSE First, which I know many people on daily diapers would be saying to me " Brian, you know better than that, you better take good care yourself or else!"
this story basically is that fantasy. I work really hard, several of my colleagues see me see me working so hard that I need to be told to slow down and smell the pretty flowers in the forest. they notice that I'm extremely tired and they have me go to lunch with him one day. they tell me of this awesome place where I can go on vacation and enjoy myself. little did I know that these young ladies were changed my life forever, and make mild dream come true, being able to do anything I wanted, they take care of my every need, And they remind me that THEY are in charge and I'm not going anywhere!
Some of the people involved in this story would be like: @Evelyn Dellcerro @Transfusionelle, @Diaper00Wearer@Notme@Bellegold@Little Belle@Jackie1 @Kawaharu And maybe a few others. I don't know exactly how many girls I would have in my story, but the ones that I was thinking of are listed here. depending on how far I take the story as I continue, be adding more people to the story. Remember this is my fantasy, and hopefully it is a good one, because I've always wanted to have something like this happen, and hopefully this story is within DD guidelines, because it does not deal with many sexual situations other than the fact that we're dealing with stimulation of senses.
Being that I've always had cerebral palsy, there's been a lot of times when my body just wants to tired and very very naughty. sometimes when I want my body to do something I have to force my body to do it, and that is one of the main problems with having a disability. you know that what you want to do, but your system doesn't want you to or your body doesn't want you to respond that way, so it makes it very hard. In this story, the ladies within it help me to become a better person by allowing me to be the person they think I should be, and they know that I want to be, the deal is that I am trying to resist, but they have their ways of making it very clear that it's a good thing for me to go along with it, and and who is going to get away from pretty girls like that that will make your dream come true, and help you forget all of the nasty negative ugly things in the world? When I think about all the things that happen in my world, or the things that happen in the world around us, I'm constantly amazed that the number of things that happen in our world make it worse and worse by the day. Many many times there have been times when all I wanna do is be able to be in a position where I am in the type of place where the world around us can spin as fast as it wants, but I get to enjoy my life the way I want to enjoy it, without having to worry about the world around us being so silly. of course, I have never been on a real vacation that allows me to enjoy the types of things that you see in a movie, like for example the old Elvis movies, with all the girls on the beach in a California setup: or maybe some island where all these really really muscular guys in really pretty girls can put you at ease and help you to relax, and also help you remove the stress.
@TinyBunny Has helped me in ways this year: I know that there are times when it is really hard to deal with things around you and sometimes you need to have something that's really soft really comfortable and something that will help you relax. Timber and Tommy rabbits are those two individuals that help me, and the next time I get a chance I'm going to add a third rabbit: All of these rabbits are very very soft, and very very reminiscent of the way it should feel when you want to relax and you want to be in a position where you don't have any worries and you don't have any concerns because of because all of it is being taken care of. When you wear diapers and you allow your body to release, you are releasing all of the bad stuff that you're holding, and it's OK to do it, OK to let it go, OK to dream and think of things that are really awesome, think of things that would put you in a good mood or whatever.
Of course there are other dreams that I've had as well. many times there situations where the actual dream is totally ridiculous, because it makes no sense. for example I could be going on a vacation with a bunch of friends, and we're going down the road, and the next thing I know a great big Humongous tiger reaches out and scratches you across the face killing you instantly! things like that I don't exactly know what it is, but my stupid head is been running around with these weird things in it for a long time. writing this story is a way so I can let people know how I envision what I would love to have happened. Of course I am incontinent anyway, but it would be kind of cool to be in a place where I would be I would be taking care of by a bunch of girls that love me to death and they don't want me to get hurt so they take care of my every need, and they have me enjoy being there Period of course the girls when they determined that I'm trying to resist, they find a way to make it so that I don't resist, and they remind me of an awesome situation that I'm in. every time that I try to fight, I end up thinking I'm going to win, But at the end I do win, because I can't leave, and I have the girls to take care of me Love me for who I am and what I am, and make me a stronger man because they know that I need the help, Know to what extent that is needed.
Hopefully when you read the story, you will find it to be interesting and hopefully something that is not totally boring. As I said, this is something that I came up with when I had a dream one night, and there are a bunch of different ladies that were involved in it. i've had discussions on the chat system with a few of them, telling them about this story, and I was encouraged to write it, and then asked if they could be one of the girls. i've added as many girls as I can think of at this point, but I'm not even sure how many more we need to add, all I know is that the idea here is that for an old guy like me the girls think that I've overdone it overworked myself and they want me to relax, and they won't take no for an answer, and they have a good way about them, so I am not going anywhere And I try to fight them, but Each time I do they get craftier and craftier in each time I do it becomes harder and harder to resist, and easier and easier to just all of my stress fly out of my body!
hopefully everyone will read the story and like it! since this is my first story I'm not sure how well I did, and I might not make much sense, but as I said This is my first one. If see the status, they will know that I've written it, and hopefully they will go see that status.

I am particularly interested to see what people like @Cute_Kitten Would think about my story.

basically the problem with the flood protection was that I ended up having it posted in three different places. While that is advantageous in some cases, it can be confusing and ridiculous in others.
I basically wanted to run the premise of the story, and then tell everybody about what was going on and what I was planning on doing. when I ended up finishing up the premise and a little bit of where I wanted to go, I ended up finding out that in the story itself I wanted to put some ladies in it. I couldn't figure out how to end up doing so because you have to be able to explain and somehow work in each character. the way I decided to do that was to do a mention of each individual in the story so that that person can get a notification on the panel. when they do that, they can see that I have put them into my story, however when I want to put in a part of a story, I don't want to put in a certain amount of information in the same post as the story, so what I was trying to do was to give it a few moments so that it wouldn't try to merge information about question I had regarding how I would deal with identifying the ladies in the story, and get that all mixed up with everything else. Eventually I was able to make so that I could get few moments in between each post so that it wouldn't automatically merge.
Hopefully when you look at the story, you will find but it is a good one. I think the premise is sound, hopefully the story itself makes sense And I'm able to bring out the idea that this is supposed to be a fantasy, because my friends care about me and want me to be happy healthy and not have to worry about a thing. because of good friends on daily diapers, I figure what the heck? these people have been very helpful to me and very supportive, so why not bring them along in my fantasy, so they can be a part of my fun!
Hope you take a look at it and you enjoy it!

I just wanted to Wish you and Elle and Junior A happy Easter and let you know that it was a pretty all day for me. My mom decided to have stuff pepper, And I'll probably have a sandwich later, I've been dealing with severe acid reflux, because of the fact that my medicine I normally take had run out of authorization So I had to wait for it to be reauthorized, and then I ended up having to find out that I had two authorizations one for 20 milligrams of it and one for 40, Then the doctor had to decide which to give me, and then they had to fill it, and then pharmacy filled the wrong one, and then was confused because they approve both.
Let's just say that it was a cluster beep all weekend because for two weeks all I've been dealing with is severe severe acid reflux, And I've been eating delimiting tablets which is orange pale oil 500 milligrams like candies, luckily now I don't have to worry about that, because I have the 20 milligrams of omeprazole. I have to admit that it feels good to be able to talk to my mom without having to get into an argument or a fight, that's not what I wanna do especially when you're supposed to be having fun on holiday!
next month I'm over the hill they say, because I will be 51. All I want is to have a birthday where I don't have to be reminded of my faults or my idiosyncrasies or my shortcomings. i'm so lucky to have good people around me that support me including you, Elle and the rest of your family. hopefully you guys had fun on Easter, And hopefully you guys are finding time to be able to relax and enjoy yourselves as well. don't overdo it and don't overwork yourself.
I can tell you that I miss you, and I can't wait to hear from you again! thank you for being such a awesome couple of friends, and always being there when I needed you! it means the moon to me!

well considering that I've warned the same diaper since I woke up this morning, Change it, thank God for my megamax, because most diapers wouldn't even last this long. I also have my cover over the top so it makes it a little bit better 'cause it lasts longer.

I just wanted to quickly post an update to those that have been monitoring. I reported yesterday that I was having severe problems with acid, And that was because I did not have my omeprazole. I took some last night when I was able to get it, and so far I am slowly returning to normal and it is a lot better for me. there's one thing I hate about having acid reflux, it is the fact that sometimes it can come up on you like being hit by a mat truck, and if you don't take care of it right, and you don't take care of it when you need to or be preventative, it can hit you like 100 tons of bricks.
Sometimes it gets really hard: yesterday I ended up going to work and doing a regular shift, but it was very hard to talk on the phone, or do anything the night before, because acid was so prevalent that it was almost up to the top of my airway, and it burned like crazy! Thanks to my medicine being here, I'm now able to relax and I'm not in so much agony, but it always reminds me that I need both my acid medicine and my allergy pills because of it, not only because of that but because of asthma as well, To make sure you have enough medicine, sometimes it sucks when you don't!
so here I am and I'm and I'm actually feeling a lot better, because I have the medicine I need and it's back in my system and it's building up to the level it should be to be able to keep it at a reasonable level. one of the things I learned is that I can't go for five or six days without taking it because then it really bothers me. When I don't have it for two weeks it's like a red alert, And I'm glad I was able to get that medicine quickly.
Sometimes when I thought of how bad I was I was thinking about @DailyDi, and how he deals with situations like this? sometimes having acid reflux can be like being constantly on fire, because your acid is way up, and it can be almost debilitating! I can tell you from experience that I'd never ever want to experience that again, but I know eventually it will happen again, so I always try to be one step ahead so I know what medicine I need. next week I will go and I will get enough backup supply of omeprazole , so I don't have to worry anymore! sometimes I run out of that medicine at the most inopportune times and it's almost like trying to deal with incontinence without having any diapers! that would be like dealing dealing with having a fire break out in no water! no good!
sometimes having conditions like acid reflux can really stink! especially when it can put somebody in a situation where it's almost as bad as having a bad cold!
glad I'm feeling better today!

Thanks Mikey! I'll ask to see what doctor ingram wants to do, because I'm scheduled to see him on May 12th. I can tell you from experience that the last two months have been the most ridiculous that I've had to deal with, because I always seem to be running out of Medicine at the most inopportune time or trying to deal with ridiculousness like having the pharmacy open at 8, and then at 8:30, and then at 9, And then I call them at 8 in the morning for example, And I'm trying to find out when they're going to deliver my medicine, and they won't deliver it that day, so I had to wait three to four extra days, then I had to have my brother Mike come down and grab the medicine and bring it back to me after work. I will ask the doctor about this particular medicine for fast attacks that come up on me and see what the doctor says!
if there's one thing that I hate about having problems with acid reflux, it just feels like everything is on fire, and I'm always afraid that this acid is going to burn a hole in my esophagus or worse, And then I'll have to have somebody do some work on my esophageal airway to we'll make sure that nothing is burning all the way up or down. My dad told me for example that he had to have an endoscopy because he needed to find out whether he had anything going on as far as acid or breathing problems, because they wanted to make sure he didn't have any polyps, and he wanted to make sure they didn't have anymore ulcers. To my dad, they had to take his trake out and take a tube and stick it down there and put the camera through to make sure. my dad was OK, but all I can imagine is having an extreme problem with acid and not being able to deal with it
that's why I hate having to deal with pharmacies so much! it got to the point where I had I had one problem where I couldn't get something delivered because they were using the wrong debit card, And then they told me that they didn't deliver on certain days, or I had to call the night before to get it delivered. there are times when I was expecting a delivery and because of certain things that they found out, they never medicine by the door anymore, So that means you have to have someone home to receive it. once I found out that my brother Mike can receive medicine on my behalf, they would say they would deliver it, but what a bunch of grief just to get something that you need.
I will make a note of that and I will send a notice to doctor kerching and Doctor Ingrahm. my primary doctor is retiring in the summer, and Doctor Ingram will take his position in May in May, so I will see him when I do the next physical, And I will tell him about this medicine. if something should happen to my statuses, I may have to ask you again, but I think I can remember that because tomorrow I'm going to fire up my my chart system and fire off a request to my doctor to put that that I will ask him when I see him in May.
Thanks for the help Mike! I know there is a reason why when I'm at work I usually keep daily diapers in the open position on my browser! he he he he he he he he he he 😂😂😂🍪🍪🍪😂😂🍪 👍👍👍👍😍

I want to take a moment to wish everyone happy Easter!
Easter time to me used to mean that it was the beginning of spring, or the beginning of when the weather would get better! I always enjoyed Easter because then that gave me a time to enjoy it with my family, or my friends, and be able to have a good day and enjoy conversations and memories, and be able to have a few laps with those you don't see that often Period now that I'm older, the number of people that used to be around is dwindling, And I always have good memories of Easter, especially when my aunt who had Down syndrome would always be looking forward to holidays, and want to hide eggs or do things that were specific to Easter. i've even attended several sunrise services, and enjoyed time with my uncles my aunts or my cousins on those days.
So I'd like to wish everyone a happy Easter, And I hope that everyone has a safe and happy holiday, and can enjoy it with those that are close to them and their family members. may everyone be happy healthy and may they have an awesome day and look forward to warmer weather when we can enjoy more time outside. I'm looking forward to warmer weather because this cold is driving me crazy!

well here I am on a Saturday night! after at least two weeks of waiting, between dealing with the doctor's office, insurance companies, and then having to deal with my local pharmacy and their delivery schedule, I finally was able to get a hold of omeprazole, which is what I use to deal with severe acid reflux!
I came home at exactly 4 o'clock, And once I was able to find out from my brother what happened, I immediately came in and took my vitamin D tablets as well as 40 milligrams of omeprazole in two tablets. Prior to this, I have been dealing with severe and almost debilitating acid reflux! One of the things that really stinks about this condition is that there are times when if you take your medicine everything is everything is fine, but you need to take it every day, because if you miss it more than a couple of days, you, and you go a week or more out without taking it, you end up getting really bad acid in your esophagus, And that can be hell On Earth! thank God for my brother Michael, because without him I would not have the medicine until Monday afternoon at the earliest, But good 'ole Mike, He went to get the prescriptions I needed. Thank God for him Because if I didn't have it today, I would spend the entire weekend in agony, along with the rest of today, and I've been in agony for almost 2 weeks, simply because of paperwork and not being able to get the medicine.
I then had to deal with this weirdness where I called the doctor and asked him for the prescription, which is normal because I have to ask him for a refill when I'm out. apparently my prescription had been field so long ago that the prescription had expired, and I had to call the doctor to be able to get it refiled. normally it's just a call to the pharmacy from the doctor, asking for a particular drug to be refilled. but it wasn't that easy.....
The insurance company apparently had to get involved in authorize or Omeprazole for me again. normally I take a 40 milligram tablet, which is 1 tablet every day. However, I also have taken 20 milligram tablets per day, And the confusion was that the original prescription that had expired was a 40 milligram tablet once a day, and the doctor wrote the script for 2 20 milligram tablets a day.
While that would not be a problem normally, apparently my aetna health insurance where I have my part D pharmacy plan had also gotten a request for authorization for omeprazole. The problem is is that they approved both the 20 milligram prescription and the 40 milligram prescription, And apparently my pharmacy was trying to fill the wrong one, So that took a little bit of extra time to be able to fix, Once I got that taken care of and was able to talk to the pharmacy, I ended up setting up a delivery date. I asked them to send it to me the Wednesday after I had checked, because I needed to find out about my vitamin D tablets.
so that ended up becoming almost three extra days of waiting, because my pharmacy has recently changed its hours, and the policy is that if for example they deliver on Mondays wednesdays and Fridays in my area. that's fine, But in order for me to get a delivery on Monday of that week, i'd have to ask for them to put me on the delivery schedule for Monday, and I'd have to call Sunday night, I would have to call Tuesday night for a Wednesday delivery and Thursday night for a Friday delivery, and what was happening was they kept on saying that I never called them in enough time, so I was spending more time worrying about when to get it delivered, rather than to get actual medicine.
The thing that irritated me was I was calling them at like 8 o'clock in the morning my time, which is like first thing in the morning, especially since the pharmacy opens between 8 and 9 AM. Normally this would be OK, but they keep telling me for three days that calling at 8 in the morning is not early enough, and that the deliveries had already gone out, so regardless of how early I call in the morning, I couldn't get it delivered that day. I basically asked them to make sure that they put me on a daily reschedule for the most advantageous time, and then finally my brother said I will go get it for you. good old Mike He went and got it for me, and thank God for him!
While I understand that most people have things they have to do, and there are a lot of people that need medicine, I can never understand why for example a pharmacy would have it set up so that they open at 9 o'clock in the morning or 8:30, And by the time I call at 8 o'clock in the morning, the deliveries have already left and there's no way to add anything to the delivery without making a full request a day before. The thing that irritated me was they knew I needed my pills, and it was just being pushed off pushed off and pushed off. It got so bad that for three days I have been in agony and I've run ceremoniously had to be drinking water almost all the time, just to keep the acid down. I wish that these people would understand how un preparing that can be when you are in agony and you can't get them to deliver any sooner.
Now that I have all the medicines I need, Now I am waiting for the drug to take full effect so that it can kill that proton pumps in my stomach so that I can function. it will feel so much better once I can take those pills and I take a loratadine and everything goes back to normal. not sure what is gonna happen for Easter, and I really don't care, I will be here anyway, so it won't bother me, and because my parents probably will be doing something with their friends, that's their decision, and my dad will probably be taken care of his wife, like he always does, because he's a loving husband and he does what he can do. it is my hope that my dad and my step mom can enjoy their summer this year, and they don't have to worry so much about other things. hopefully this summer will be better for us, because I can tell you from experience the last three years summers have been nothing but ridiculous, and it just makes me feel like I wanna be able to go somewhere do something and get away from here, but it drives me crazy sometimes!
Such as the week I've had! I wish the heck I would've had my Omeprazole a lot earlier than this, because now I still have to wait for all my proton pumps to calm down! I want to be able to eat a sandwich, and I usually use mustard on a sandwich, but I've been feeling like I've been acid at the strength of Golden's Golden Mustard, and that is really really strong! acid that would probably take rust off of a bumper!
all my aching esophagus Ohh my achen heart! I hope this damn heartburn goes away quickly!

today, I am very happy! The reason I am happy is because I have found out that after at least one year of not having my batteries on my backup chair charging because I was afraid that they were totally dead, that it appears that after bringing my charger home from work Saturday, and letting it sit all day, and all day Sunday, I am pleased to report that it appears that my batteries are fully charged while they are sitting on the charger.
I was afraid these batteries would be totally dead, and because they're dead, that I would have to find a way to replace at least one set of batteries. because of the way we do battery changes or part changes, all we would have to do is order the part that we need, take apart off of my backup chair and put it on the primary chair, And then when the part comes in we put the new part on the new chair and change the old part to the backup chair again, which means that I can still have decent batteries to be able to function in the event that I need to either change chairs or change tires.
A couple weeks ago, I found out that my wheels could be malfunctioning. the problem would be that for some reason my wheel would either shut off, or it would beep five or six times and then would just keep doing it. it would also happen when you least expected it, and then when you're trying to use the chair sometimes it would just cut out, if you're using power assist, and you're pushing on the rim, and it goes out, then it doesn't feel right on one side and it feels like 10 tons of weight on one side. They think there might be a problem with the power switches that are all around my power switch which is a rubber circle, And I can press anywhere and contact is made and the batteries are turned on or off. for some reason I thought that there might be a problem there, and with the batteries malfunctioning and doing this, the best thing to do is to send the wheels away to be serviced which is what the next step will be.
Meanwhile the technicians took a look at my chair, and they decided that there needed to be some parts replaced. these parts will be ordered, and I will also get a brand new set of emotion batteries, the M15s- once they come in, what we will do is I will take the wheels off my current chair, Send those to Pennsylvania for service, and then take the batteries off of my purple chair nicknamed the Purple Professor, and put the wheels from the purple professor in position on my current chair which I call the Blue Bolt. once that is complete, I will be able to use the Blue Bolt until the tires return and I can put my primary tires back on my primary chair. It is my hope that what will happen is that the parts that they order will be in before they take the wheels, because once they do that then I will hopefully have brand new batteries in either chair, which will be a lot easier, And that way if they find some sort of a glitch or a malfunction in the wheels, or the switches, they will be able to tell if there's something wrong with the switches the contacts or something else. the people that work at national seating and mobility in Burlington VT are very good at what they do, and they will make sure that I am taking care of.
As I say, I'm glad that I have the ability to have at least one chair on backup fully charged. We'll have to see what happens when I test it to see if the batteries still function whether they hold a charge. when I sit in the purple professor, my back will be different, but I'll have to determine whether those batteries are flat or whether they're fully operational, and it's better to have my wheel service if they find a problem, rather than have the malfunctioning!

Heaving a HUUUUGE Sigh of RELIEF Today:
For the last few weeks, I have been dealing with Emotion Wheel problems, because they have been malfunctioning, and most times, it would ERROR "7" or ERROR "8" and BEEP constantly, and so I had to contact the Technicians, and let them know that I had the error 2 weeks ago, and they told me that I would be seen on the 27th, and they would check to see if they could find reasons for the problem - I think it has to do with contacts in the hubs, or the battery condition........which brings me to the reason I was trying to solve the mystery of the "missing charger".
As many of you know, I have CP, and use a KI Mobility Catalyst 5 Manual Wheelchair, with M-15 Emotion Wheels. When I got approved for my 2021 Wheelchair, I got the accessories that they come with: Control Pendant, M-15 Wheels, Li-Ion Batteries, and EMotion Charger: I ALWAYS keep the older unit for backup, and both chairs now can share parts, minus the headrest and the backrest.
This means that, in the case of failure or breakdown, I can CHANGE the M-15s to the 2014 chair, and roll out within 10 minutes, assuming the 2014 chair is charged and ready.
Several months ago, I was doing Events at work, and my M-15s last a FULL 8 HOURS per charge, and I would find that I needed to charge behind my desk or during and event, so I brought the 2021 Charger to the office. I put that on the back of my SAFE, and it stayed there for a while, and I placed it somewhere in here, KNOWING that it was wise to do so.
Well, 2 weeks ago, I thought I had LOST the charger, and asked to see about how you replace a lost device. For at LEAST 2 months, I was really bumming out, because I thought I had lost or misplaced it, as we do have workers going through things, and I had placed the charger at work somewhere, but for the LIFE of me, could NOT find it......
This week, I am here Friday and Saturday: I wanted to clean the room behind me of things we don't need, and while moving a couple boxes, I saw a black hanging BAG - CHARGER was IN that, and hiding: I made a TRIUMPHANT Call to the techs, and told them I FOUND it - WOW!!!!
I have never felt so relieved in my LIFE!! Those changers are $400 USD, and they are NOT cheap, and the REASON I have that one down here, is due to the problems of having batteries get low or malfunction!! Thank GOD that he has been with me, as this last couple months have been hard, but I DO have the charger, and I put that thing on the SAFE, where it should always be, and I don't know WHY I moved it, but I GOT it Now!
Thank You Lord!

Update on my wheelchair situation:
Yesterday I ended up making a phone call to National Seating and Mobility. I also asked NSM for assistance in obtaining another charger to go with my primary wheelchair unit. apparently I've lost one charger and I'm not sure why, I had it at work and apparently either disappeared or I can't find it. they said that based on the fact that I haven't asked for replacement parts for over a year, because I have had the chair for two years, that they don't think that there would be a problem with me asking for a replacement charger. they told me that the reason that they think there wouldn't be a problem, is because they understand that people need Chargers, and I have two chairs and about 6 batteries. I have a couple of backups, plus four batteries two of which are in my primary chair and two of which are in my backup chair, and I think I may have an extra 1 sitting around, but it was confusing the last time because I had to have a battery replaced within three months of getting the new chair because they believed the battery was defective.
The technician believes that it may be time to change the primary batteries in my pubs. These are supposed to be lithium ion batteries and they are supposed to last five years, because of the fact that their lithium ion versus nickel metal hydride. the lithium ion batteries are good batteries, because usually what I've been told by the technician is that the batteries outlast the chairs life cycle, and you only have to if at all possibly replace it once in its lifetime. if that is the case, then I'm pretty darn lucky, because the batteries have been pretty solid for me and I haven't had too many issues.
I will have the technician check the insides to make sure there are no bad connections or any loose connections or any malfunctioning going on in the hub itself. He will be able to tell if there's something loose or something that is happening, because he can look at the connections inside the hub to see if anything is amiss.
Yesterday afternoon, I got a call from the technician. he called to find out further information about what type of malfunctions that I was experiencing, so that he could write them into the notes so he could contact the manufacturer to find to find out information about what I am getting for error messages. I told him that I was getting a flashing 7 on the right battery, and a flashing 8 sometimes when there is a malfunction, but there is no way to determine what a flashing 8 is, and I believe there were five beeps when it was flashing and beeping this weekend.
Long story short they will have a look at it on the 27th. they will then be able to determine exactly what is going on, and I believe if they can get approval, they will be able to order me the charger that I requested. hopefully this will not be a problem, because these people work for a bigger company, and they have specialists that go through Medicare and Medicaid claims very carefully, and they don't usually error out because they usually have people that know what they're doing. I have run into problems with Medicare before, because Medicare will not disclose any information to the beneficiary about what's going on, and every time you call them To find out information, I have to start the claim all over again as if it was a brand new claim, even when their individuals that are going through the processes, because they don't tell tell beneficiaries what's going on. they won't even give me a denial letter if that's what they decide, I usually have to find out through the state medicaid division, because they will alert me to that, So hopefully we won't have any issues with my request for a new charger, And if they determine that there's a battery issue, hopefully they can fix that and check the hubs for any loose connections or any malfunctions.
So as it stands now, the chair is working properly for the time being, even though I'm not sure why it would cause the problem, but my technician is working on the issue to find out why it could happen or what the flashing lights and beeps are supposed to indicate. looking at the manuals we both agree that a 7 flashing on the right indicates a right battery malfunction, or a 7 flashing on the left would be a battery malfunction for that battery, But luckily I only have one malfunctioning battery battery, but the eight flashings are something that could be considered a general fault so we don't know what that is, so a call to the manufacturer will have to be made And that is what will be dealt with by the technician.
Other than that everything seems to be going well. Hopefully we will continue to have better weather as the months move on, and hopefully we will be able to determine how to fix these error Conditions with my wheelchair, so I will not have any issues. I will also have them do a once over to make sure everything is tight, including my l brackets, which must remain tight so that my wheels do not bend in any direction that they're not supposed to. Failure to keep the L brackets tight could result in my axle pins bending at a weird angle and that could throw the wheel out of alignment or it could make it very hard for the wheel to lock into theaxle.

This is really strange!
from time to time on and off I've had trouble with my emotion power! These are power assisted so they help me with mobility so I don't have to hurt my shoulder with the rotation of the wheels. what happens is the power assist will help me with either one and a half turns per push or 2 1/2 turns per push depending on whether I'm in low or high gear!
for the on and off for the last couple of weeks, I've been getting weird responses from my control panel indicating that we have a 7 condition, which indicates problem with the battery, with a flashing indicator as to which side whether it be left or right, so it's been a 7 right flashing, And then an 8 flashing right, which indicates a problem of unknown origin on the right side. today I called the technicians and inform them of this, And my brother was able to help me undo the battery connections on that side and then reattach the battery on the right side after checking the connect the connections to make sure they were tight.
The weird part was that for hours on end this morning, my chair was turning itself on and off, and I was unable to figure out why. even when I went to the control panel, the control pendant was not showing an error message, so I was unable to figure out why there was an issue, so I was unable to diagnose. then later on, I was able to pick up the control panel and saw a flashing 7 right, which tells me the right battery has some sort of a malfunction condition Period to fix this, my brother Michael pulled the battery out after unscrewing all the connector caps, pulled the battery out checked the connections and then put the battery back in and then connected it all back up. when we refired it, it seems to have stopped all of the beeping, so I'm all set there. thanks to my little brother for that one! he is amazing!
tomorrow I will call them to find out if there's a problem that would have caused that, And I'll also figure out what this flashing 8 right means, which indicates right hand battery condition problem. A7 condition indicates battery malfunction, and 8 indicates some other condition, but my indication in the manual does not actually tell me what a flashing 8 means, so that means it probably is something that is generalized.
I'll also have to determine what happened to my other charger for my chair, I own 2, so I have two Chargers, but I took one to work and it apparently disappeared, so I'll have to determine what happened. I hope that they were able to determine or are able to determine how that happens come because I certainly would not want a malfunction like this to happen again where I have to take the battery out while in transit to reset a problem. thank God from a younger brother cause he was able to unscrew it take it out and then help me to put it back in. putting the batteries out and taking them and putting them back in are very hard to do, but it is a pain in the neck sometimes.
Such is what happens on a Sunday!
anybody got an call Ginger Ale? I might need it! he he he ???

interestingly enough: my brother Michael was able to take my battery That was malfunctioning on the right side of my wheelchair, And then remove it from the hub, and then place it back in the hub and then screw everything down again. once that happened, the seems to have gone away, but it might be due to a loose connection or something, but I will still have it checked. I was getting errors on the right side as well and they were all #8, which is a general problem with the itself, And I'm not sure if there's a specific die code for _#8.
So right now, chair is functioning normally, and not making any beeping noises indicating air conditions. I will keep everyone abreast of the situation, and hopefully I will get a call sometime tomorrow when I'll be able to tell them what's going on.

******* uses the Magic of Pokemon: after seeing the magic words, a couple of very soft very sweet looking pikachu pokemon appear in your crib! your Big Brother tells the pikachu's to keep track of you and protect you come, and make sure that you end up getting a hug from them every day!*** that should give them the recharge they need to protect you from any bad guys!
I now have a flying pokemon which is a pikachu, So that's pretty cool And I got that through my online gifting function And I'm not sure how that happened, but I think I got it as a New Year's gift in 2023 Period since Violet and Scarlett are the newest pokemon games, there should be a lot of changes that happen as they update it. I now have a full pokemon guide so I can look up information about how to make pokemon be able to evolve into other forms. I love the book that the guy happy Joe made, so I not only got an Electronic copy of that particular book, but I got the paperback book as well, because I can read it and be able to use it as a reference. I may have to also write notes in it because I want to be able to do certain things and know where I'm supposed to go. luckily, I haven't had too many troubles, because of good friends that have been helping me throughout the adventure, and I love it. I fell in love with it the minute I started playing it so I'm enjoying it. So I leave you a virtual couple of Pokemon, and I leave you the powerful pikachu's to protect you and keep you safe!
****hugs*****

It was really nice being able to talk to you last night. I don't normally get a good chance to talk very long on the server, so having a discussion like we did last night was awesome. today I decided to do some errands and I ended up stopping at walgreens, and I ended up getting a bag of chocolate M&Ms, and a 20 ounce doctor pepper soda.
I wish you luck in your next endeavor! hugs take care and have a great holiday and make sure to come back and see us again soon don't be a stranger!

OK here it is 3 in the morning: I can't I can't sleep for the second morning in a row, after having a pretty good day. luckily, even though I was out of hydroxyzine, I went to my medicine box and was able to find that I had some extra in reserve. as of this time i've taken one, hopefully I will be able to sleep. probably take a couple hours before I get to sleep. I hate when that happens!
Hugs

that stuff works really good: the only problem with it is that you have to take it at a reasonable time every single night, and usually at the same time every night. the reason for this is because you want to be able to have this medicine working working in your system to help you sleep. the later you take it at night or the earlier you take it in the morning, the harder it is for you to be able to get halfway decent and sleep.
What happened to me is that I take it every night, and it really helps me to relax it helps me take care of itching and it also helps me to sleep period the problem was is that I only had a 90 day supply, and you take it once a day for 90 days. Sometimes I'm lucky enough not to need it, but I've been taking it every night because if I don't, I end up going to bed anywhere is between 12 and 3 in the morning, and then what happens is it takes And tell me how to tell a couple hours for it to kick in. taking it at 3 AM this morning, it takes 2 hours at least for this to take effect, and I think I remember seeing the time being 4 o'clock or 4:30 One or two times when I got up again, but I was able to quickly close my eyes. it's a real pain when you can't even sleep a halfway decent night sleep.
So tonight i'm going to take that medicine about 8 or 9 PM, that way if there's a issue, I can always take it early enough so that the medicine has enough time to take effect. my intention is to be able to sleep from at least 10 PM all the way Until 7 AM tomorrow morning. if I can do that, then I will have the ability to be able to have a clear head and be able to sleep, and actually be able to relax. when you're under stress or you feel like something is missing, you always seem to feel that way. hydroxyzine has always been my go to when I have an itching problem, but it also helps with other things including sleep Problems. I was lucky that when I noticed I was out, I thought I had some extra of several drugs in my box.
So I was able to find that I did have such the medicine I needed, and I took it. I also added it to my medicine lineup on my shelf, So I would have it tonight when I needed it. i've been having a lot of trouble with allergies and stuff so when you can't stop sneezing are you can't see very well, sleep is something that will always evade you. so tonight I will end up taking that medicine earlier in the day so that I will be able to sleep at night.
Glad you're able to get some rest my friend: that is one of the things I like about this medicine!

Says good afternoon! I hope this finds you well! wanted to make sure that you are OK and that you're able to get halfway decent night sleep! that is one of the things that seems to be something eluding me from time to time period Saturday night into Sunday morning I didn't even get to sleep until almost 3 in the morning! I wish that didn't happen, but it did. this morning I woke up at 6:30, changed a wet diaper, and then put on a dry one period now I'm just relaxing and enjoying myself on a Sunday!
Had an interesting day yesterday, made $82.00 and it just seemed like the time went really fast. unfortunately, even though it was 50 degrees in Vermont, was very very cold downstairs. The church has a $21,000 fuel bill that started out as a $9000 bill: it was a shock to the church's administration as well as to myself. we always give them help Help with the fuel when they need it common we've done that prior to them taking over operational control from us. we can operate it they just have the fiscal control That we don't have anymore. Because of that, now they have everything turned down to 62 degrees, regardless of whether it is 50 below 0 or not, they may end up leaving up a little bit when it's a little cold, but even when I was totally dressed in full winter gear, I was cold to the touch downstairs, and even when I was upstairs I was upstairs in the fellowship hall and when we're all done, I waited for the bus for over an hour and a half, and then came outside when it was 50 degrees. Even when it was 50, I felt like I was frozen, and all I wanted to do was to find a nice warm bed climb in it and be swaddled or covered up, And a nice dried diaper, and just relax. I was cold! they tell us that they're not going to raise the temperature, so I'm not sure exactly what the winter will be like, but if I have to go out in the cold to go to work, and it is as cold outside as it is downstairs I won't be there!
***** me gives you a lot of hugs and and kisses! whatever happens, please know that I wish you all the best in your new life in California. hopefully daddy may end up allowing you to grow up to be more than three months old eventually! He may end up letting you grow up to say maybe one maybe 2 but no more, but that will be something that you and him will have to discuss. Whatever happens, please know that I'm always there for you, because that's what friends do, and that's what brothers and sisters do. I think of you as a sister, so I'm always going to be check on you to make sure you are OK from time to time*******
