Just realized I hit 10,000 hours of using my wheelchair this month

I had a moment last week when I added up the time I spend in my chair each day. It came out to around 11 hours a day, which means I've logged over 10,000 hours since I got my Quickie 2 model in Denver back in 2021. That number caught me off guard because I never thought of it as a milestone, just part of my routine. Has anyone else tracked something like that with their mobility gear or aids?

Did you notice any weird wear and tear on your chair's parts after that many hours? My cushion started getting flat spots around year two and I had to replace it.

Wait till you hit year four or five, the foam in the seat basically gives up completely. Had the same issue with my old chair where the cushion felt like sitting on a rock after a couple years. Way I figure it, the foam just gets compressed over time no matter how careful you are with it.
