Comment on Why is there such a price difference between medical & consumer products? by Scott @ landmark medical transcription

But if you ask me you would think that someone would help us out namely the government. I don’t have insurance so I know how much it cost to try to get some of the thigns that I need. Let me tell you it isn’t fun paying $20 a pill.

I recived today in the snail mail, a flyer that states, “Register at knowROHO.com and you could WIN $50 or even $500!…..And you’ll get a free gift!”….well then right below, it states, “Register by January 31st to be eligible to win” The problem is, today, the day I recived your flyer, is Feb. 9th….Therefore, I forfiet my chances because I recived it late…. I am a ROHO user…have been for 15 yrs. Roho is the only cusion I will use in my chair!

Is there any way to rectify my chances for winning? or, do I still get the free mystery gift?

Thank’s,
Wheels……..

Comment on Resources available for the newly paralyzed by Danielle Boenisch

Dr. DiNezza,
That’s a great question actually. The ROHO Group was founded by Robert H. Graebe. When he signed his name he signed it R. H. Graebe, but the periods looked like circles or O’s making it look more like RoHo Graebe. A person who was reading his signature addressed him as ROHO Graebe and the ROHO name was born.

I was curious about where the name “RoHo” came from. I was chairing a treatment team meeting at the hospital and the question got raised. Is it a combination of two names? Hope this question isn’t too off the mark but it is an interesting name. Several of our patients use the RoHo Cushion for additional comfort in their chairs and the name “RoHo” keeps coming up in our meetings and I’m really interested in the name. Thanks.

I use RohO cushions exclusively; by NOT having a foam base, and allowing me to sit as is right for me, I am not confined to the way someone else thinks I should sit.

Despite this, this letter is to voice a very loud complaint about your ‘social awareness’ that is absent of all the quads who have also excelled.

I for one have been filing and winning Judicial actions for the last twenty years. These have been no less a battle as a 2,000 mile trip is.

Please stop YOUR discrimination.

For 4 or more CEU’s I prefer to meet at a local site. For less I love email.

It is great to see that there are individuals out there that in spite of some physical drawbacks they can still enjoy life, stay active and life life to its fullness. Sometimes they put some of us non-handicapped to shame. Keep on inspiring us. Live long and prosper!

Comment on Operation Deep Down gives disabled Veterans the chance to scuba dive by J. Kline

J. Kline — Wed, 29 Dec 2010 21:25:14 +0000

I just read the exceprt and one of the articles on Cody Unser and I find her story and her efforts very inspiring. Even at her young age she seems to have acomplished a lot for handicapped people. Commenting on her scuba diving project, if it is very much exciting to scuba dive for a non-handicapped person, imagine how much more it is for someone who is wheelchair-bound while moving on land. It gives you a sense of freedom; you could even say that being in the water, it is a great equilizer.
Great story. Thank you for publishing it. I look forward to read more about it.

Here is a link to instructions on how to properly inflate your cushion. http://www.therohogroup.com/proper_adjustment.jsp I recommend doing a seating evaluation with your clinician to see the level of air that fits your needs. Then note the amount of air between the lowest part of your bottom and the seat. I also recommend checking the air level in your cushion daily.

Since the Shower-Commode Cushion does not come with a cover, it does not have a way to stay mounted on a shower chair. One thought is to try Velcro on the bottom of the cushion. I would check first with the shower chair manufacturer to see what they recommend.
