quick update
Posted: 07 May 2017, 10:12
Just to let you know that things are on the up slowly but UP
The elephant legs are a great success if ever need your bed or chair made higher look them up quite cheap and reasonably accessable
Malcolm is walking reasonably well with his elbow sticks or zimmer round the house and garden so the fear of life in a wheelchair has receded
on friday Malcolm was able to get into our car and we went for a ride out in the sun he was tired afterwards but yesterday was sport on the tv so nice and quiet and restful
I would also like to make a recommendation to our older friends out there
When Malcolm had his first cancer op 9 years ago we had not long bought our new leather 3 suite so we bought 2 riser recliner chairs second hand for the conservatory so one could be brought into the lounge post op they worked great but over the years one became a fixture in the lounge following the death of bracken and jess we needed to replace our much washed carpet and Malcolms chair was a bit wobbly so we did some reserch for a suite that had all the bells and whistles but didnt look like it belonged in an old folks home it had only been in our home for a few weeks when all this broke out but i am so glad we bit the bullet and ordered it we slept on the reclining chairs for 4 nights and Malcolm can stand up and sit down himself without help and without straining his back or stitches so my recommendation is if your lounge furniture needs replacing and you are
getting on a bit have a look at riser recliners for comfort i now also have my own a different size to Malcolms so it fits me
i would also recommend if you are changing your bathroom particularly if you are tall take a look at a comfort loo (its taller)
thankyou folks for all your support over the years
