time I see a vet that has to use an e-mobility aid from a lost limb, I
persevere harder to use the body I was given as long as I can.}
Bruce, my hopes and prayers are with you. You've been a guiding light on
this list for years. May you have many more ahead.
My sister-in-law has the same problems with arthritis, and can barel
walk. I've been working on a mobility cart for her special needs. I'm
not going to try for something self-balancing, as if something goes
wrong, it could be a disaster. But of course the Segway company has
spent a lot of money and engineering to get it to work.
I'm aiming somewhat lower-tech. She wants to be able to get around
outside, over grass and snow, on trails, and over curbs and other minor
obstacles. And, it is to be light enough for her to get it in and out of
the car herself.
My first try is a 4-wheel cart, about 30 lbs. But it needs bigger
wheels, so I'm working on a 2nd try.
