Thanks, Rachel. I hadn't thought of that, about changing the center of gravity. But in an emergency, if I need to be pushed, I can't be pushed sitting forward, because there's no place to put my feet, and I'm too weak to hold them up. Maybe I can have my husband weld on some foot props in front or something.
I know that the completely responsible thing to do would be to get a wheelchair...it's just that it's hard to let go of the little independence I have left.
