Sunny, you can also use a wheelchair. It may be safer to use your arms to rotate the wheels and move around. You have worked in the medical field for 20 years. I am sure you will find the best way for you. Physical therapy taught me to use a quad cane for outdoors to manage uneven surfaces. I also have a transport chair for long distances to manage trails or events like fairs.

Hi Toni, I 've never heard of a quad cane so will read about them. I but am very interested in your transport chair. I have looked at some online but have no idea what to look for and which is the best. I would love to have one to go to the fair. Warmest wishes, Sunnyflower

Toni, I am far too weak to turn wheels on a wheelchair. I have steroid myopathy and am very weak. Aside from someone to lift a transport chair, you can be pretty independent in one right? Can they fit into a handicapped bathroom? They are motorized yes? Thanks so much, Sunny 😊🙏🤗
