A demo chair in my kitchen

Be still my heart.

I talked the DME into letting me borrow the demo power chair over the weekend. Until Sunday, possibly Monday. It's a thing of beauty.

I have legs again.

When I hit the joystick this chair moves - every time - unlike the old one I'm using that thinks about it first. And when I go over that extra high threshold into my bathroom this chair gently lifts me and drops me on suspension carefully designed to prevent spasms. I sat in it last night and it was comfortable. It passed the narrow hallway test. So all I need to find out is how it runs outside.

Yeah - outside.
