taking the powerchair out

[roundthebend4]

Wish us luck were going out and ds is taking his powerchair he has been pratscing in the yard and seems ok

But were of to the zoo today and think be so much nicer for him to be able to be more independent as walking short distance means he is very tired and then i end up having to push him so no fun in his manual but ekk means we got to take on bus and train

So place your bets everyone for how many people he takes out

Good Luck! As a matter of interest how old is he ?

oh, how did you get on

I reckon he'll be fine, it'll just be the daft sods that choose to walk right in front of him that will be left rubbing their ankles

well were back and ds did fantastic first time i drove it up the bus ramp said to ds wait there and will help you steer into wheelchair bay well by time i paid ds had moved an dparked himself .Infact all day he was better than me so gave up helping him

And only one person squashed toes .I asked man to wait while ds got round a tricky narrow curved footpath man would not wait squashed past same time as ds turned cue toes squished but he was forwarned so i said opps sorry did try to warn you

fantastic

oh and isw ds is 5

well done wee R!

Yey well done . He sounds like a pro already.

he got up train ramps the lot no messing around and very confident

You know the best bit was wayching him dd and ds friend who is nt 5 year old playing chase and for once ds could join in , hell he was leading them ##

.Such a differnace for him really was i even lost him a few times as he sped of to look into cages infcat one cage dd age 7 needed lifting up he just took his chair high up and peered in .

Though me thinks he wont be so keen on his manual chair now and best bit is after 6 hrs plus of hurtling around and mean hurtling we were still on green power not even half discharged

He even went on the woodland walk and he treated it like was offroading bombing around woodland footpaths

Aww that's great to hear!

Sounds fab, great to hear about him being so independant :)

Brilliant, that is just lovely to hear, what a brilliant kid he sounds!
