    Almost tipped my manuel wheelchair

    I don't get out much. I think from this post, you can tell why. Well, I thought I could drive an errand today. I arrived, and the sidewalk ramp look wide and nice.

    So I started to push my manual wheelchair wheels, and realized I was close to tipping. So I relaxed, and didn't try to go up the remainder of the ramp. I was at the bottom, and turned my manual wheelchair around, and backed my wheelchair up the ramp.

    I get so aggravated at myself, because I still think I am the strong athletic person I used to be. Well I'm not, and I better realize that now, before I get hurt.

    The reason I am posting this, is because I was the one who posted that everyone should have the "anti tipping" wheel attachments on the back of chairs. Hello, I guess I didn't read my own post.

    I still have the manual wheelchair, which I bought used, without the tipping wheels. I can no longer use MS as my excuse for being an idiot. I am getting the "anti tipping" wheels, and that's final.

    Take care,
    Diana
