Until my accident I was working as service technician at Frankfurt Airport for a widely known broom yellow logistician.
The building is one of the largest at the airport with a great view onto the airfield.
In the topmost floor there is a big room,
The Sky Lounge
in which management meetings, press conferences,… are held.
I have been once a year in this room just to inspect a ladder.
On 24.06.2010 I received in the Sky Lounge an official
Farewell!
At this point many thanks again to the initiators of this event.
I still can’t believe what happened there.
I know, I am lagging behind for a few days with this blogpost, but I needed some time to let it sink in.

It is nothing new that the health insurances are currently in financial difficulties.
The saving-mania reaches unforeseen dimensions.
To save mounting costs technical aids will be delivered to all in need as construction kits only.
It is stopped not even at kids.
Look yourself, the new
Constructy 2101 for do-it-yourself mounting
The advantage of the Constructy 2101 is that the size can be easily adjusted with a couple of bricks.
For adults the wheelchair components are pre-fabricated in Sweden.
But seriously: Pictures from Kids medical supply (Kindersanitätshaus).
Simply great, keep it up!!!

Don’t drink and drive
is a matter of course for us wheelers.
A Hessian brewery has now launched the first
Wheeler’s Pint.
Non-alcoholic and isotonic
all what the body needs.
Side effects such as mocking, sneering, head-shaking and chronic taste definition search are guaranteed.
Resemblances and interactions with beer don’t have to be feared.
Isotonic: Sport drinks having the same mineral concentration like body fluids (Source Wikipedia).
Which body fluids do they mean? Yuk!!!

Many wheelers receive an invalidity pension.
An additional income of 400 € is possible provided that a job is found.
The search for a new meaningful job turns out to be rather difficult sometimes because according to general opinion the brain activity is limited significantly as well after permanently giving up to touch the ground with the feet.
Sometimes I even believe it myself.
Everybody knows the situation: You are in a department store and looking for ages until a suitable piece of clothing has been found. The saleswomen are all extremely busy, but storm towards you in hordes to bring the chosen piece to the cash counter.
In department stores there are no shopping trolleys either, so that the quantity of pieces of clothing to buy is limited by the weight and carrying capacity of your arms.
Now he comes into operation:
Wheelchair shopping trolley and advisor for power shoppers
For the elderly you can make yourself available as rollator/walker as well.
Above 800 kg sold clothing the additional income limit is reached.

After 14 days at the seminar of the
Support Group of
 medical device marred wheelchair drivers and prosthesis wearers
in Oberstdorf im Allgäu I am online again. These conspirative meetings of world-famous
Wheelchair and technical aids tuners
are “run” under the pseudonym cure (only for patients of the employer’s accident insurance), or holiday.
I will inform you about the most recent findings during the next weeks.
Regards from the Rollinator

Am ersten April begann das neue Quartal und ich durfte Gestern bei meinem Hausarzt antreten (als Teddy?),
um meiner 3 monatigen
10 € Praxisgebührspende
nachzukommen und um mir gleich noch ein paar Impfungen gegen so ziemlich alles abzuholen.
Ich beschloss trotz dortiger extrem eingeschränkter  Parkplatzverfügbarkeit an der Pferderennbahn mit dem
Auto
zu fahren.
Alles Super geklappt, kaum zu glauben.
Warum waren jedoch eigenartiger Weise nach dem Ein- und Aussteigen meine Hände nur so schwarz?
Mein Auto wurde Ende Dezember völlig verdreckt (voll Salz) an mich ausgeliefert.
Man glaubt gar nicht, was Schnee für reinigende Kräfte hat.
Trotz des langen Winters hatte ich den Eindruck, es schien die Sonne Gestern, dass so eine Grundreinigung des Wagens nicht die allerschlechteste Idee wäre und ich dann eventuell keine schwarzen Hände mehr bekäme.
Ab zur WaschstraĂźe!!!
Dort haben 3 Kollegen mit Dampfstrahlern mein Auto abgespritzt und geschrubbt, schon bevor ich in die WaschstraĂźe einfuhr.
Das nächste Mal drehe ich mein Auto dann vor dem Bezahlen und fahre wieder weg.
FĂĽr mich war der Wagen sauber genug.
Wäre mal interessant zu sehen, wie blöd die dann aus der Wäsche gucken .
Ich habe mittlerweile den Verdacht, dass der vierte Kollege mit der Kasse meine schlechten Gedanken lesen konnte.
Er wies mich mit dem Auto in die Transportschienen ein, ich bezahlte, er gab mir durch mein Fahrerfenster mein Wechselgeld und meine Dachantenne.
Dann wünschte er mir noch schnell einen schönen Tag und war weg.
Da fuhr ich nun mit meiner
Dachantenne
auf den Knien und keinem vernĂĽnftigen Radioempfang durch die WaschstraĂźe.
Ich ĂĽberlegte ernsthaft, wie ich das Ding jemals wieder da oben darauf bekomme.
Na toll !!!

There is a football god after all!!!
I have reported in one of my first blogposts how another Eintracht Frankfurt football fan I didn’t know gave me his 17 year old
yellow Tetrapak Eintracht Frankfurt football shirt
(see older blogpost)
, which I was looking for.
As if I had anticipated it, I decided on Saturday 2 hours before kick-off of the match
Eintracht Frankfurt vs. Bayern Munich
to call my cousin to watch the match with him live on TV. I should mention that at this time Bayern Munich was unbeaten for the last 19 matches, and my cousin and I had endured the 0:4 home match loss against these Southern Germans half a year ago in the stadium.
Well then, my cousin had told his colleague my story with the yellow Tetrapak football shirt, whereupon he gave him a couple of weeks ago his old
red Tetrapak football shirt
for me.
Heaven only knows why Stefan came as well yesterday of all days to watch football with us.
Eintracht played great.
Within the last 4 minutes they could turn the 0:1 score with two goals and sent Bayern home with
2:1
The photo was made before the match.
It shows the girlfriend of my cousin, Stefan and me.

I have bought the
hand cycle
with an extra amount of snow.
The costs of such a bike start from 2400€ when it’s new
(no typing error).
It doesn’t even have 2 wheels!!!
One day it should look like this (see newer blogposts).
I have to clean instead of writing 
Still no clue how I should hold the handles…,
let alone how I should shift the gears?
The handles issue should work out somehow with lots of duct tape, construction foam, sanitary silicone and super glue so that I can hold them with my buckled fingers.
There is a variant to shift gears with the chin.
Attach a toothbrush to the lever,
and I sell the bike in Ebay in the beauty section for double the price.

Meine HaustĂĽrblumenrampe wurde aus 2 Kubikmeter Beton mit reichlich Eisen aus einem StĂĽck gegossen!
Böse Zungen behaupten, die Rampe sichert das Haus gegen Diebstahl ab.
Lasst Blumen blĂĽhen!!!
Die Blumen hat meine Nachbarin gepflanzt.
Schick oder?
