Hello fellow PALS, I need some advice based on your experience. I am using a walker at home with great difficulty and never without a spotter. I use a manual wheelchair when I go out and get pushed as arms/hands too weak to self-propell. Getting in/out of SUV is an ordeal.
I am thinking if it makes sense to modify the SUV passenger seat which can rotate out and lower so transfer from wheelchair is easier versus buying an accessible vehicle with wheelchair access. Will I be able to always use a manual wheelchair or is a power or reclining wheelchair inevitable which would mean I would need a new vehicle?
