Guest guest Posted April 8, 2002 Report Share Posted April 8, 2002 Hi everyone, The bed question brings to.mind lots of things, I measured my bed at 22 " I think 19 would be good for me, being alone. A carer/lifter might prefer it higher, hospital beds are for the benefit of staff, I can't do them, my mountaineering and bungee jumping are not that hot! Mind you, a motorized gurney could be fun! I have my own machine shop, lathe, mill, gas brazing station etc. and some carpentry stuff, but I find woodwork generally dangerous. I have modified/built all my tables. I make the top height 26 1/2 to 27, with 24 " clear to wheel under. These are far too low for Mr average, but perfect for me. In the kitchen I have nothing modified except I have removed the doors under the sinks so my wheelchair goes under, and I prepare all my cooking on a tray on my lap, and try not to sneeze.. hehe. If I have the worktops lowered, where would the washers, fridge., etc. go? and in a wheelchair I have to manoeuvre sideways so I cant use them anyway. I have a hostess trolley for a lot of uses, and I have built a clamp to clip it to the wheelchair. How do other carees (patients?) cope, what heights work for you? -- from Brine - reply to brian@...> in plain text with no attachments - messages which break the rules are auto-deleted unseen. 14:30:49 on 08-04-2002 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
