[quote=Anonymous]My elderly father simply refuses to consider a wheelchair. He can walk with a walker but someone has to be next to him because he is in great danger of falling. He hasn’t left the house except with medical transport for months. A wheelchair would make it easier to take him places but in his view he does not need one; He’s only ever used it in the hospital because they were “excessively cautious.” I think he cannot accept a wheelchair because it means accepting the reality of progressive decline. I understand this, but if it were me, I think I would want a tool that would help me go places and do things and see people.[/quote]
