Help! Which wheelchair!!!
Posted: Thu Jul 30, 2009 12:17 pm
Hi ,
I was diagnosed with a really aggressive form of PPMS last October, which meant that I went from Salsa queen to struggling on crutches in just 6 month. I intend to probably get myself of scooter for cruising around in my home town at some stage, but I still have extensive travel plans. So I’m looking for a foldable power wheelchair that I can “man” handle, i.e. getting it in and out of planes, taxies etc. Can anybody help? I don’t even know where to start looking and I’m going on a cruise with my mum at the end of August and need it by then. My mum is 81 and can’t lift anything heavy and it’s got to be electric as I want to be as independent as I can. I could buy in either the UK - I live in Somerset - or in North Germany.
I’m grateful for any suggestions.
