Here you can see all our e-bay purchases - two electric wheelchairs and a modern rotastand all for less than half the price of one of the wheelchairs.  Ron is a lot more confident using the blue one as it has the choice of a much lower speed.   I have also bought (full price) a large wheel wheelchair as I am told they are a lot easier to push so this will be the one that goes in the car.

Last weekend we went to test out some rise and recline chairs, then came home and ordered one online.   I always feel guilty doing this but when you save 450.00 there cannot be any argument.  This should be with us in 3-4 weeks, then we should be all set up with equipment.

Next Wednesday we have some of the research people from Addenbrookes coming to do 5 mins worth off tests this is a follow-up for the trial that Ron participated in which involved wearing a halo device which was supposed to bombard the clot with  some sort of rays, of course we don't know if we got the real thing or the placebo.

We are going to try to get Ron in my car at the weekend.  We will try when there is a strong man about, just in case of problems.  To get in the car Ron needs to stand which he can do if he has something to pull up on, then turn, which entails lifting up one leg at a time and putting them down in a different position and this is the difficult part as he needs to keep his bad leg braced all the time and tto do this he has to concentrate very hard.

Work has started on Burton End.
