Hi Jude,
Yes, I've been putting many hours and days of research into power
wheelchairs. I tried one in my condo
yesterday, but even the Pride Go-Chair, a small chair, was too big for
our tiny bathroom. I'm going to
try a Jazzy 1113 next. It's supposed to have a small turning circle. i
will probably have to have the door
to our bathroom removed for a little more turning room.
Thanks for thinking of me. I hope you are doing ok.
Kevin

with this one. I have two chairs and would gladly give it to someone
with needs, but Dave says that I need to keep it for a back-up and he
is probably right.*

Thanks to everyone who replied regarding my wheelchair quesrions!
I wish I could get a scooter for cost and portability, but I
really need a
small mid-wheel drive chair to get around the tight spaces of my
condo. Unfortunately I will have to pay for this chair out of pocket
because I got a larger chair through insurance a few years ago and
they won't cover another one so soon. The Pride Go-Chair looks
like it will be the best one for my needs. I am having trouble
with Maxim Mobility not returning my calls..the providers
around here are not so great in my experience.
Thanks again,
Kevin
