Getting out and about....


Here are some pictures of Joy to show how we transport her in the car. First, help her out of bed and onto walker. Load wheelchair and parts/pillows into back of car. Put EZ-on Vest on Joy. Help her lift leg into car, and slide into position.(laying flat in backseat) Buckle two seatbelts thru vest straps. Put walker in back of car. Drive carefully to destination, avoiding bumps whenever possible. When you get there, unbuckle vest,carefully help her out of car and onto walker, set-up wheelchair and pillow placement, help her into wheelchair, and strap left leg to chair with an ace bandage to ensure it won't slip off. DONE! This is why we don't get out much, but it CAN be done!!!!!
