Wheelchair Stair Lift For Mom

Hey there once again, Edwyn here with some more of my observations and musings on life in general and life as it affects me in particular. This post is one of those sides of life that affects me, of more correctly my family. An elderly mom in the peak of health is one thing but an elderly mom who has arthritis and still insists on living in a two story house is another.

That woman is as tough as they come, but not so tough anymore as she struggles to get up and down those damn stairs of hers. Well, if she won't see sense and move into a single level home, then I guess the next best option is to have a stair chair lift fitted. And that would have been simple enough but she, as usual had other ideas.

Sure, the idea of a stair lift appealed to her no end, but to add to the logic that only a great grandmother could come up with, she decided that a stair lift should be able to cope with an uncertain future. meaning she could see herself one day having to use a wheelchair to get around and try as I might, I couldn't fault that logic that she should have a full blown wheelchair stair lift fitted. Hell, her stairway is certainly wide enough, so it made perfect sense.

The job was done inside a day and she now has the option of riding up and down her beloved stairs either standing, sitting or imagining her future in a wheelchair, if that's what she thinks about!

So, I guess the message coming from this post is that if you have an elderly mom who needs to climb stairs but she's getting too old for it, then get her a stair lift for heavens sake, because it'll maker her life far more pleasurable than the alternative.

I'll see you next time.
