High-end wheelchair part II

I promised to finish talking about my wheelchair today (or actually yesterday) but now it's a different today so... ah well.

That was a classic Jodi digression.

Onward! My chair is a Quantum Q6. I couldn't find which model I have in the Q6 series. I'm not a savvy consumer. One feature I didn't mention in the previous wheelchair entry is that it RECLINES. The first day I had the chair, after an exhausting maneuverability training, I rolled into the kitchen and reclined. It's like a freaking La-Z-Boy!! I fell sound asleep.

 When I woke up groggily (it was a good nap) I saw what the guy who sold me on the chair warned me about. I need to shift my weight or, better yet, get out of the blasted chair for a bit to (gasp) prevent pressure sores! It seriously scared the bejeebers outta me. So, I made dates twice or three times a day with Stan (my walker). Yes, I name my mobility devices. The cane is Candy (I miss her). my wheeled walker was Floyd, named after my great uncle who owned it before he passed. My manual wheelchair is Wheelma, and I haven't named the power chair yet. She's enormous and powerful, so maybe Big Bertha.
Well, dear friends, I have to go to bed. It's far past my bedtime. More tomorrow, when I'm awake.

Interesting...
