My new wheelchair was delivered yesterday. It was ordered the end of January (supposedly). The vendor messed up, but my friend Cindy got all over the rep and it finally arrived last week and was delivered today.
Check out the way it folds up.
Fully assembled.
Remove the wheels and perform some magic ... Voila!
Even Scooter is amazed.

Posted by: Rob Cooper on June 21, 2007 01:03 AMCongrats!! My son has that one too! It is so light, the fold up is great..makes it easy for him to pass it to the passenger seat so he can drive the smaller car now!
Posted by: Sandi on June 21, 2007 07:55 AMGreat but stay away from those big,big, trucks!!!!
Remember what happened a few weeks ago? His Hoveround never left the ground!

I hadn't really understood how it folded up when you described it. That is slick. And to think, I bought my CRV partly because it was convenient for your wheelchair.
I could have bought a VW bug if I known you'd get a chair like this.
Also,as to Scooter being clever. He may know how to fold a wheelchair, but he certainly doesn't know how to disentangle himself from the yarn when he gets into my knitting bag!

Denny,
How come you don't have you a motorized wheelchair? I think being a man and loving to tinker with electronic and mechanical things if I was stuck in a wheelchair I'd be trying to build me a hot rod wheelchair. Did you ever give it any thought? I know a motorized one is hard to get in the car and such but it sounds like it would be fun to tinker with and race up and down the block in your neighborhood.
:-)

Posted by: Assrot on June 21, 2007 07:32 PMAssrot - Because I don't need a motorized one. It would be too big and too bulky to get in any of my vehicles. I'm not in a wheelchair fulltime either. I do walk with braces and crutches.

Something just doesn't look right in these two pictures. Your floors look wayyyy too damn clean for having two cats! Did you clean up a little before you took these pics? Ha! Just jokin'.
Congrats on the new rig!
Posted by: CharlieDelta on June 21, 2007 09:39 PMFantastic! Wish we had your version with an extended leg for my mom. It was too hard to wrestle ours into the trunk, so we had to put it in the back seat. She shattered part of her knee and had surgery resulting in no bending for several weeks. You'd think the hosp. staff never heard of that before, with all the requests she had for bending her knee a little (hello! read her damn chart for the doctor's orders!). Guess they get a lot of knee replacements, and those folks have to start P.T. much sooner.
Fortunately, there was a nearby med. supply co. that provided a relatively lightweight version with the additional pad 'tween chair and foot, to provide support (until yours, I would consider it the Cadillac of wheelchairs!)
Gotta keep the leg straight for 4-6 wks. Only then can therapy begin. Long road ahead, considering she's 77 yrs. old. She's in darn good shape, though.
Dang, and it even came in your color! Sweet!
You'll have to shoot me the info on it.
Zoom Zoom...
oups, you spoke french !
