Hi. It has been since May that I have been on here due to my partner Erik retiring from a dream job in Hawaii in June. We moved back to Florida to be close to family and friends, and we are finally settled in a location that Erik is very comfortable with and we are enjoying every single day as much as we possibly can.
Erik has been approved for an electric wheelchair, however he does not want to spend the extra for a seat elevator. His legs are failing him pretty fast and hands some. I'm concerned that his shoulders will be next making it very hard for get out of the chair by himself. I would appreciate any advice for him to make a good decision. Thank you.
