Thank you all so much for the suggestions regarding different brands of powerchairs. There's a lot to think about and consider -- hopefully my MS brain will cooperate and sort through all the options. A couple of these I'd never heard of before.
My insurance is noted for not wanting to pay anything for chairs, etc., but even a little would help being they are all quite expensive. I'll be checking out everything.....from the seat to the feet, and of course the elevating one. Thanks again my good friends....
