Whooppee - I`m mobile!

Congratulations, Pat!

My DH has an electic wheelchair. Enables him to walk the beagle a couple times a day, go to the mailbox, etc. Little things count! He's no longer able to use a manual w/c, so these electric jobbies are such a blessing! Just wish we had wider doorframes & hallways, as he tends to cut them short & we now don't have a wall or doorframe in the house that isn't damaged in some way or other! Small price!

Have fun with the wheels!

Congrats, Pat! I had a friend with MS who had a scooter and she was a whiz at getting around restaurants, stores, ball fields...everywhere. It was miraculous that she could get around so well and lead such a full life in spite of her disease.

Now you, too, can be - quite literally - "hell-on-wheels"!!

Well, I'm sure there are one or two who deserve it -- the little punks who see nothing wrong with pushing the elderly/disabled to the ground if they're in the way.

But hopefully Pat will not have to do it more than once to make the point.

It also means I can go round to see my best friend, Shirley more - she can`t walk and is nearly blind, and her husband is less than considerate. He does what HE wants to do (messing around in boats) and until recently, she could do her own thing. He seems to make no concessions for her, though, and she`s put up with it for at least he thirty years WE`VE known her.

We`re spending this week checking out all the ways to places I want to go that don`t mean I need to go on a dual carriageway!

Just thought I'd mention there's something called "offset door hinges" that'll get you up to about 2" more room through doorways. e.g.:

Can I have a ride on day?

These would be wonderful, Kay. Unfortunately, we live in a cardboard box, wrapped in aluminum foil, on wheels. A mobile home! can change the hinges, but the door frames are still only about 1" wider than the w/c. Not much wiggle room when the hand that operates the control is not real steady! My dream home is an old warehouse or store type building with no interior walls. MY walls would be PVC pipes made into screens & covered with fabric & foam to absorb sound. These would be on wheels so when a "wall" gets bumped, it would kindly roll out of the way! ;)

Thanks for the links - I bookmarked them for future reference!
