The family wheelchair

I can't really shop. I run out of energy very quickly if I try to go in a store. Wal-Mart and Home Depot are great because they both have electric scooters for the disabled that I can drive around for a short half hour shopping trip. Other stores make it more difficult as they may have wheelchairs available but on an upper floor, or at customer service, nowhere near the doors.


So we borrowed the family wheelchair back from my brother-in-law. It was first used for my father-in law before he passed away in 2002, and then my mother-in-law used it until she passed away last summer.


And now its my turn. It folds up neatly and we keep it in the trunk of the car for use when needed. I used it after Christmas in Future Shop when we had returns to do and it worked great. I picked out a couple of movies while Barry was in the lineup. I used it on Sunday in Winners where I was looking at purses. I can propel it myself, or Barry can push me, but it saves my energy for other stuff. People are great; they yield to the wheelchair and they are always very polite.
