Power Chair Two?

I'm modifying the wifes power chair so the seat rises to the hieght of her car seat so she can slide over instead of needing lifted up to get in the car. I see a Neuro Surgeon in 2 days and I kinda suspect he's gonna tell me carrying the wife around isn't something I really should be doing LOL, but with this I'm hoping I can just avoid the surgery for a few more years...

LOL just by chance my wifes power bed that I had hacked the controls with micro switches she could push went haywaire and the bed went down as soon as I let go of the up button...

I had to raise it to a comfortable height for her then unplug the thing but geez, if it had wanted to go up head and foot and it had been Halloween...

LMAO

I'll fix it or rebuild the controls.

thanks just wondering

She has Rhematoid Arthritus which is not really arthritus but an auto immune desease similar to Lupus. It twists the joints and in the beginning of the year she had to have a leg amputated.

People hear the word arthritus and dismiss it as trivial but RA can attack the heart and other organs and the meds for it cause her immune system to be comprimised so a simple cold can put her in the hospital.

When I built the house I went out of my way to make it wheel chair friendly.

Getting all my ducks in a row.
