Contact your local NMSS chapter and talk to your doctor for they will have ideas who can come to your home and help you. This happened to two friends of mine so I know there is help out there! ... From cleaning your house to helping you with meals, etc.

Hang in there and take care...

Being able to drive your scooter right to your van would be awesome, then to be able to drive it up the ramp and into or out of the house would be banging!

I am so happy you are being pro active. you go girl! :hug:

Please don't use the suction grab bars. We had them and they don't always hold. If you lose your balance and grab one it may break off or slide and down you go anyway. Jim has the scars to prove it.

It is best to go ahead and drill in the tiles. Find the stud (not the contractor :p) and use the correct drill bit. I have them in my bathroom and it's pretty easy to do with the proper tools. They may not even charge to do it. :hug:

Get before and after pics if you can so we can see their handy work. :cool::D

I'll see if they have a camera, so they can take some before and after pictures. :) I'll tell them it's good for business, since I'll be sending the pics to all my handicapped friends.:D

Well, the Boys called to see if it was ok to start YESTERDAY..and i said sure..:D They are all but finished..:eek: They're coming back this afternoon to finish up and dejunk my garage, so I can get around, better..:)

It's ugly as hell, but oh so cool...I've already been up and down, a couple of times. It needs a little tweeking to make it perfect, but they did, what everyone else said, was impossible, and I love it.

The dog hates it and I can't get him to go outside.... He won't even follow me.... He just stares at me, with that, NO WAY, look in his eyes...:D... Not so funny, actually, since he is doing his duty in the House.:mad: I may have to get some doggy piddle pads for him....UGH!

Pictures???? They said they would tke some and e-mail them to me. I'll remind them.....if I remember to remember...:D

Film At 11..:cool:
