Motorized Wheel Chair Source

As someone with Rheumatoid Arthritis, my advise, locate a Occupational Therapist and ask for a Home Assessment! I have just left Home again, lived with my Mother who is healthy while I have RA. Anyway the situation, while living with Mother they refused to give me any help, accept put Mother at 76 down as being my Carer! That failed when I ended up in a wheelchair, Mother could not push me. So off I went into a nice one bedroom wheelchair accessible flat, all on my own. The OT Home Assessment came around and I have lots of aids, appliances, kettle tipper to grabbing stick, let alone pots, pans and cutlery. What I did NOT know, they measure you for say a dinning room chair or living room chair, so sitting sown or standing up, takes all the strain off the joints, excellent. In fact I now look at the times I struggled at Home and realized just how much I struggled with silly things like filling up the kettle, or lifting the tea pot. Not anymore and the relief of being independent, being able to do silly things like slice a tomato with no problem has given me a new lease of life. I now think I was a fool to struggle for so long, but she is my Mother and I love her. OT Home Assessment opened my eyes to how easy ironing, making a cup of coffee, can be with Arthritis. Therefore before I would invest in anything ever again, I will ask the OT! I have just turned 49. Good Luck
