Cool!!!!!!!

Curious 04-01-2009 03:48 PM

You better not get one of those for your porch. You might not see Jim for a week! :p zoom zoom......there goes Jim down the street.

How cool. Have fun Jim. How many times have you gone up and down? :D

Kitty 04-01-2009 03:54 PM

Yea!! Go Jim!!

Sandy, if you hear a strange noise at night it'll be Jim playing on the lift!! :D

Alffe 04-01-2009 03:58 PM

Wow! Could you pinch your fingers on it??? :cool: Very slick!

Aarcyn 04-01-2009 04:02 PM

sweet ride - Disneyland has nothing on Jim's lift.

AfterMyNap 04-01-2009 04:09 PM

Wowwwweeeeee! That's much too cool!

Now where the heck are you going to hide his Christmas presents?:eek:

kicker 04-01-2009 04:26 PM

I want one!!! I know the kids have made a terrible mess upstairs. Maybe I don't want one.

SandyC 04-01-2009 04:36 PM

LOL Ok, let me see.

1. Jim has rode up and down several times and just stares in awe that he can do this all by himself. He didn't even argue when I said I need pics for the board.

2. If I hear strange noises I will cover my head. Skeery!

3. Pinched fingers? Well, yea I guess. I better watch out for the animals! :eek: Just kidding. It has a stop alert if anything gets in the way.

4. Ours is better than Disney? WOW! That's way cool. Suck it Mickey!

5. I'll have to put his presents way up high. Oh wait! I can put them behind the bar because he can't get in there! Margarita's anyone?

6. Kicker, you wouldn't even see the mess. :hug: Jim just sat down there staring. It's like it's all new.

I was down in the basement with Jim and I said I had to put something up while he went back upstairs. It wasn't until then that I realized I just told him to go on up without me. WOW.

NurseNancy 04-01-2009 04:57 PM

that looks cool.
btw, aren't his toes cold?

SandyC 04-01-2009 05:06 PM

No not at all Judy, they have sheep skin in them. Those are special boots to help keep his feet from swelling. They also help to loosen his achilles heal so the heal can sit flat. That will take time to happen. It's like a therapy boot.

soxmom 04-01-2009 05:20 PM

cool beans!!!!:cool:

misshayleesmom 04-01-2009 05:54 PM

That is so awesome!

I'm so happy for you guys.

That's fantastic!! :cool:

The little things we take for granted mean the world to those who can't enjoy them just any old time. I'm so excited for both of you! :D

That elevator looks fabulous Sandy, and Jim looks so very pleased! :D

Now you'll have to go looking for him when dinner's ready, as he could be anywhere! :rolleyes:

mrsD 04-02-2009 02:18 AM

What a great device! This has to be a very positive day
for Jim... to be mobile again!

Those stairs look really formidable! How did you manage them
before? If you don't mind my asking?

Thumper2 04-02-2009 06:34 AM

Wow that's so cool Sandy. And Jim looks so proud sitting in it. :hug:

I wonder how many of your neighbors will show up for a ride. :p

We had a Bruno stair lift, the kind with a seat. With his spasms and leg stiffness we had such a hard time getting him up and down even with a ceiling lift. His legs didn't even sit on the platform and would get caught. The seat was also too small and he barely held on. We had some scary times. It was definately a hazzard. We sold the stair lift to the company that put it in and donated it back to Ramp Up that helped us get the wheelchair lift. :D

kimmie 04-02-2009 11:02 AM

:) How GREAT, what, a Wonderfull thing. Have Fun JIM, GOD BLESS KIM

DM 04-02-2009 01:49 PM

Yippee Skippy!!!!! That is way cool for Jim!

Now, when he wants to go back upstairs, he can just say "Beam me up Sandy!!"

Riverwild 04-02-2009 06:17 PM

NICE!!!

Glad to see that this all worked out for you both!

Time to hide the bottle, the bag and the presents somewhere else!! :p

SandyC 04-02-2009 06:51 PM

Look, he has tv, xbox, pool table, bar and a slot machine. The only thing missing is the neked pics! lmao

I'll never see him again.

:p

Kitt 04-02-2009 07:44 PM

SandyC 04-03-2009 03:18 PM

Haha! I couldn't for the life of me figure out what those green looking eyes were behind Jim on the stairs. It just occurred to me it's our dog Bergie. LOL

lor 04-03-2009 03:34 PM
