I do hope your brother makes a speedy recovery, although the second one in the family to end up with post-surgery infection is twice as much as any of you should have to bear. I close my eyes after reading your descriptions and try to imagine how things look, and anticipate your being able to fill us up with lots of photos at least on your return. hope you got some great ones of your dad in that chair! <BR/><BR/>Ken's parents live in an "over 55" community and every time we go down there (they live about 90 minutes away) I swear to Ken that he needs to shoot me, or himself, before even thinking about that option. I'm sure some are lovely, but this particular one was SO built based on the developers' making lots of money that there's no sense, no pattern to the house lots (or to the way the pre-fab houses are sited); they are just shoved in as tightly as the building code allows. That, on top of everything else, gives me the willies. But I digress....<BR/><BR/>Keep on taking good care, enjoy your leisurely drive to Perth, and keep us posted as you can.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18383220573177416855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481340601069600500.post-1649516799377625142008-02-20T12:54:00.000+09:002008-02-20T12:54:00.000+09:00I have to say, I used to love that drive too.

Some clever Rotarian, or other community-minded person, must have built it. I forgot to mention that it has a plastic chair with wooden arms, and a strap so you can tie the rider's ankles to the chair so they don't slip off and get caught in the wheels. We were in hysterics!Lesleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07175734326888791038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481340601069600500.post-65353611222781211842008-02-19T08:58:00.000+09:002008-02-19T08:58:00.000+09:00I love the sound of this wheelchair contraption.

I bet that's some wheelchair. I used to be lethal with the hospital ones; Dad and I used to cause chaos as I winged him around from the ward to x-ray and back. If you've got to do those things you have to find the most fun you can out of it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
