Hi, I think this is the second time I have posted and am not quite sure I am putting this question in the right spot.
My dad was diagnosed with ALS in September '08 and his disease is progressing very rapidly as I have stated before.
Today he told my brother that his walking days were over. He has a wheelchair that the ALS/MDA lent him, but my brother was lifting it in and out of the car today for my mom and doesn't think she will be able to get the wheelchair in and out very easily. Is there a brand or style or specific type I should look at that would be comfortable, and lightweight? They live in a ranch, but some of the hallways and doorways will make manuvering a wheelchair a little tricky, so it needs to be more narrow vs. wide if that makes since.
If any of you have any suggestions I would appreciate it.
Have a great day!
