Guest guest Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 First time I put the foot rest thingies on the wheelchair.. they were stationary and got in the way in the house (that's how I ran over and broke my own pinkie toe).. Well, went to a visitation last night at the funeral home, and since it's got long long hallways in it.. decided rather than break out the walker and then find out that I was going to need the chair.. we just got the chair out instead.. As soon as I put my right foot on the foot pad thing, it broke!!!.. couldn't get it to stick at all, it just went round and round and round.. so we took it off and I put both feet on the left foot thing.. The thing that impressed me.. was the delivery guy, technician.. whatever the medical supply place wants to call him.. just left!!!.. I call this morning and he delivered new leg/foot thingies this afternoon! AND they are the adjustable height ones.. so the feet can be elevated if need be!!... I am truly impressed!!!! It's the freakin' insurance companies that drag their feet!!!! on everything... HUGS |)onna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 Still might run into the problem in the house, definitely in the kitchen.. BUT.. I've started to put on shoes before heading for the kitchen in that thing... I don't realize my foot or feet are dragging until I've done run over them!!!.. and I'm not able to navigate between the sink & dishwasher with the foot rest things on there.. I've also become more aware that .. ummm.. ya know.. if'n you run into something that the wheels aren't moving over in the kitchen.. it's not gonna be a rock!!!.. LOL.. I have to claim that the brain warts are what caused me to think such a thing and force the darn chair over top my toes.. LOL.. Some days.. I'm intelligent.. and some days.. I'm not.. LOL.. I think there needs to be a gear shift placed in my brains.. so that I can put it in gear..
