It has come to the time in my MS journey that I think a power wheelchair is in my near future. My first thoughts are that I'm "throwing in the towel" in that I don't like that fact that it's come to this point, but I'm trying to convince myself that it's in my best interest.
I've been having a really hard time walking with my rollator walker, not to mention falling too many times inside my home using it. It's become a safety issue as well as an energy saver. Yet, I still struggle with this huge decision.
For those who use a power chair, what kind/brand do you recommend and why?
What features do you look for and what to avoid.
And what about the cost? I heard that Medicare will cover part of the cost, but how does that work?
Thanks for any input, thoughts and recommendations!
