Guest guest Posted September 7, 2002 Report Share Posted September 7, 2002 Hi This is Sue from Milwaukee. I have been unable to be on the internet for a while, but I have been keeping track of all of you. I have a question. Dwight is about ready to go into a wheel chair and some have suggested I get him the motorized scooter. I would like to hear from you and your opinions about this as he is not able to drive a car. Any help or suggestions you can give will be fully appreciated.

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2002 Report Share Posted September 8, 2002 Sue, Many Wal-Mart and grocery stores have motorized carts, try him out on them there to see if he can handle one. My wife could not handle one, others seem to be able to handle the controls. Another option is to get one that you can walk beside and operate the controls. Take care, Bill Werre =================== Sue and Dwight Shumway wrote: >Hi > >This is Sue from Milwaukee.

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2002 Report Share Posted September 8, 2002 Sue: I do understand your concern about whether he can drive a scooter since he can't drive a car. Scooters don't go as fast as cars, but they do require coordination. you will have to have him test drive one at different levels of medication. I am wondering if, since you said he is about ready for a wheelchair if an electric wheelchair would be better. He wouldn't have to get in and out of it and could " drive " it right into the house. Just a suggestion, Barbara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
