Wheelchairs: Mobility Options for You

My name is Lana Thompson and about five years ago, my son was involved in a car accident. My son has been in a wheelchair ever since the accident, but David is determined, resilient, and positive. The injury did not keep him from reaching his goals, and I have spent a good deal of time, energy, and money to make sure that my son's wheelchair could help him with his life aspirations. This meant working with physicians, electronics experts, and medical suppliers to make sure David's wheelchair was as technologically advanced as possible. A wheelchair is not simply a tool, it is a mobility lifeline for a disabled individual. If you are in a wheelchair, I want you know how to develop the right wheelchair for your condition. I want you to be comfortable, able, and positive like my son, so start exploring options with my blog.
