But you also mentioned this monster effecting your feet. That is one of the reasons I'm in wheelchairs. My shrinking cerebellum is the other reason. I took off the stirrups and peddle myself with my feet so that might be an issue for you. Getting around my house doesn't cause too much pain. I breakdown the motorized one to fit in the back of my Forester and also bring a travel chair for short distances like going just to a restaurant. My wife pushes me when I use the travel chair. "If the world doesn't fit you make adjustments".
I hope you find relief somehow...
Russell,
Hi unfortunately I share my home with not only my spouse and my 20 month old but also my mother and step father at the moment. They are the ones that won't make allowances for a larger mobility device such as a wheelchair. I am currently looking for a rental since the state has taken my home for road chages. I have been looking into mid-arm crutches for the time being since the wheelchair is not possible. Thanks for the advice.
