Improvised wheelchair
Bit of context. I got home from the hospital/ rehab facility a couple weeks ago.
I ended up having to give up my apartment because it was on the second floor so I moved in with my brother. He has a fairly small house. When we were discussing wheelchair sizes we discovered the one I got was too big to fit into the bathroom. It barely fit into my bedroom. Like the wheels skimmed the frame. The bathroom door was a couple inches slimmer than that. Luckily we checked before I moved so there was time to come up with a solution. My absolute genius brother came up with the idea to get a regular office chair and replace the wheels with some that locked. While I’m at home I just push myself around the house in the chair with the golf club and some leg power. I also use the club to lock the wheels because my hands still aren’t strong enough. Plus it gets me moving my legs during the day. None of my physical therapists were thrilled with the idea but if it works it works!
