Hey Kevin,

If you are going for a power chair, I have found the 'Invacare Torque SP' to be the best chair I have ever had over 17 years. It can come in a variety of setups for your maximum comfort. Check it out online at: http://www.usatechguide.org/itemreview.php?itemid=89

Peace,
Bernie

Hi Grace,

i don't have a wheelchair, but don't think I can put it off much longer. Do you mind if I ask what kind you have? I'm pretty sure I will need a power chair

because my hands are going numb. ;-/

    Oh Priscilla, tell me about it!!!  I looked just like a big ol
    middle aged Raggedy Anne (Or an elderly Bette Davis) lying there
    in the bushes.  And you know how it is whenever part of your body
    is paralyzed---the legs just flop into these impossible
    positions.  Plus, to add to my utter humiliation, my bladder let
    go and I was soaking wet whenever they hauled me up.   That poor
    young man who attempted to snatch me from the jaws of certain
    death, didn't know if he should laugh or cry---we decided on
    laughter.  He had fallen in a roofing accident and broken his
    back.  Can you imagine if he had managed to hold onto me and I had
    pulled him out of his chair?  It really could have been a
    catastrophe.  I would much rather have taken my chances at dodging
    traffic  than to have caused him any additional pain.
