Guest guest Posted March 11, 2002 Report Share Posted March 11, 2002 Good morning everyone. I think Sam is getting close to the time when he will need a wheelchair--staggers around the house here and uses his ambulator (one of those little carts to push around) a lot of the time and almost always outside. I wonder how msd people do with motorized wheel chairs. Don't they take some coordination? He is not good at that, and in addition his vision is so terrible he would be bumping into everything and getting snagged and be unable to\i unsnag himself. Do others find the motorized wheelchairs ok--especially inside the house. And I suppose a scooter wouldn't be much good--he would probably fall off that. Is that true? Also, these wheel chairs without a motor that have the extra wheels for people to move with their hands--I don't know that he would have the strength to move those much longer, especially on rugs. Also, I suppose those motorized wheelchair would be too heavy for me to lift into the car, but we do have an old lighterweight wheelchair that could be used outdoors. Lots of questions today--I'd appreciate hearing from others in this great group about their experiences and recommendations. Thanks a million. Lou R.
