Repaired My Air Filled Wheelchair Cushion
[ Monday July 3rd 2017 at 8:30 pm ]

The cusion on my wheelchair is air filled. This helps absorb vibrations as I am driving down the street. It provides the most comfort possible given the effects of chronic pain in my body.

A few weeks back the cushion got a pin hole size puncture. It has been slowly leaking air. I've been topping up the cushion twice a day.

After I finished in the pool tonight I used the shower and soap to find the hole. I brought the repair kit with me and patched the hole. The process is different than patching a bike tire. However it is the same type of idea.
