LOL...my son complains that mine is too fast. I can book pretty good with it...that may have more to do with the specific manufacturer. I wonder if the motors can be tweaked at all?
Mine does have a delay feature for safety, which is aggravating to me...and nearly killed me when I was trying to seek safety during a tornado that killed my neighbors....safety feature, my rear end.

Mine has a knob you can twist to adjust the speed, but I can't control it when its too fast so that's really where the trouble lays. The small apartment we live in just doesn't have adequate room to let me use it.
I do hope that the new apartment will be easier for me to use it during the day when I am at home and cleaning and stuff, that will be great. But I can already smell summer coming on and am hating it knowing it's going to be sheer heck if we don't have another aide set up by then. If we do then it might be bearable. I don't know. I just feel so frustrated right now, but we're one day closer to tuesday when he goes back to school. He's got a dental appt. that monday so I might take him in to school if we get home in time, but most likely he'll be home monday too. At least the end of spring break is in sight. Can you use a manual chair Hoosier Mama? I like my manual a lot but the power chair is really cool too, if only I could get to use it more. |

Well down to two more days before he's back in school and I think it's going to work out just fine now. He hasn't taken my chair from me for a couple of days and has been acting better since we got out the inlatable pool three days ago.

Jonathan wishes he had healing powers so that I wouldn't hurt anymore. If I am having a bad night and need help getting to bed he will offer his shoulder and try to hold me up. He's 9. Very strong. I grew up with very sick parents. My son has a lot of compassion.
