If walking is an issue do we use mobility aids ?

Hahaha, after being bedbound for so long, 4 mph will seem like Nascar! :rofl: Yes, my wheelchair is electric, thankfully, a parting gift from my grandpa when he passed on - I named it the Bennymobile, after him. :D I live in the country, so I havenā€™t been able to use it other than just in my yard, but with the hitch now I have no limits. Well, I still canā€™t leave my bed much, haha, so there are those limits. But I can fully recline on it too, makes a huge difference with how much time I can spend in it. Iā€™ve been able to go out in the yard a few times and have a socially-distanced visit with family while reclined and all tucked in with blankets out there, totally restful. Iā€™m hoping to be able to take it to town for walks with friends in the park this summer.
