I can get back in my chair when I am on the ground with no problem. A few months ago I got my electric wheelchair stuck outside. Nobody was home so I called the fire department. I got out of the chair so it was easier for them to get it unstuck. Then they asked what's the best way for us to get you back in your chair. I told them just stand back and watch. They were impressed.That sounds like a goal and a lot of fun. Since it's part of your recovery, it would be nice if the insurance could supply that and possibly something elevated. Getting off the floor sounds hard after exercising. But best hopes and prayers for all of it.
