Guest guest Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 becasue of the fibro. and low back pain. walking the dog became a real no no. I can not stand hardly at all. but found that I could get a wheelchair with no side wheels. and walk in the chair while supporting my lower back, & if I came to a incline, I could turn the chair around and walk the chair up the inclin back wards. I can go to store, push the cart with hands, while sitting in w/chair, (took the foot rest off the w/chair) & walk all over the store. the church that I belong to, is large & has may wings. with inclines. so during the bad seasons, I go there & walk in chair through the church. & on good days I walk the parking lot. I might add that I made sure the w/chair was light & alummum. I can maintain my indepedance, & do the things that I need to do. well all except I have not figured how to do my laundry. the apt that I live in is a four plex, & the laundry room is down at the other end of the apts. & have to get to the laundry room from the out side. with a tree on the other side of the side walk. love light, mary w.
