We have one equipment issue: the hospital's wheelchair is very large, and there is one tight corner in the apartment. It works with the footrests off and with some muscle; Monday we will check on the size of the rental chair that has been ordered -- it can't be one scintilla bigger than the hospital's chair! I'm also going to take my husband's wheelchair to see how it does on the problem corner. Maybe Bill will use it until he's back to full time walking. Otherwise, they may use the bigger chair for outings, and the smaller chair inside the apartment.
Otherwise the visit went well and served its purpose. Bill/Ayn have a new bed, and we wanted to test how transfers from the chair worked out. Whoa, the setup was too high, so we pulled out the box spring and everything was fine. (They have the IKEA Laxeby slats, so there is plenty of support without the box.)
Just a few more days until the next phase in this adventure begins.
How exciting. There is no better feeling than sleeping in your own bed, in your house. :)
