Over the last couple of days, it quickly became apparent that lurching down the hallway was not going to be sustainable. The hospice nurse suggested using the power wheelchair in the house, but Jeremy was concerned about scratching the moldings and said the manual wheelchair would work better. Ok! All good! Let’s do it!
We are now transitioning from bed to wheelchair to recliner as needed throughout the day. It takes two of us to get Jeremy upright, keep him there, and adjust sweatshirts and blankets. He tends to lean backwards and he falls ungracefully into whatever chair awaits him. Once he is situated he tends to stay for hours… which I’m not entirely sure is a good thing. But he gets to call the shots.
