It is not lazy it is good management. You are having a real hard time and deserve every bit of help you can get.<BR/>Herrad lost mobility too quickly to ever use her scoot-mobile (could no longer transfer) but got an electric handbike that attaches to her wheelchair. I hope she can still use it when she can sit again- I fear she may have lost arm strength and hand control. When she got it she went crazy! It was such a freedom to be able to move by her self again.<BR/>Car bah... OK you can have one but most people should get on their bikes!Richiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13728288104897625768noreply@blogger.com
