Answer by Zach Fenn
England/UK would be your best bet. It has the most cultivated/flat lands. Don't go to Italy, everything there is rocky, and the roads are all torn up. Germany is great.

DON'T GO TO VENICE. IT IS NOT WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE.

A "Hoyer" lift is a machine or gadget that is used to help lift the patient from his/her bed to get to the wheelchair. If you have other lift machines that you can suggest, please do so. If you can give me website of companies who sell these products, I will appreciate it very much.

You can buy them right over the Internet--from less than 1000 for manual, hydraulic ones to several thousand for state-of-the-art electric ones.

Just google it--I'm not sure which kind you need.

Would it be possible for someone in a wheelchair (electric scooter by Amigo) to travel to Orlando by plane?

Question by debeyhaber: Would it be possible for someone in a wheelchair (electric scooter by Amigo) to travel to Orlando by plane?
I want to take my family to Disney World. I use this electric wheelchair (scooter) and I wonder if I could take it with me. I think it would be hard for my wife to push me around the parks in a conventional wheelchair. Do the airlines take this kind of chairs? Are the buses that take you from the airport to Disney equiped to take wheelchairs?


Best answer:

Answer by webjnke1
Yes the buses at Disney are equipped for that. Disney in general is very well set up for wheelchairs. I wouldn't think the airlines would be much trouble either. Also if you stay at one of Disney hotels, a bus will take you from the hotel to the parks. We never used our car the whole 5 days we were there.

Answer by Kaninchen
Hmm...it really depends on where you live. If you live in a city, then you can probably find lots to do. If you're like me and live in the middle of the boonies where if you blink you will miss the town, well...I guess you could find a cow to milk...just kidding haha! That's probably how I'll spend my summer lol

Anyway, depending on where you live, you could go to the library, the mall, anywhere really. If you want to go to church, find out if someone from the church could take you. Most of the churches that I've known of have a church van that picks people up at their houses, your local churches might, too. They are big vans, and since not a lot of people go in them, your wheelchair could probably fit. I know my cousin's does, and it's a big electric wheelchair.

You could pick up a hobby - for example, learn an instrument, try art, learn a new language, something cool like that. Pottery comes to my mind for some reason. Maybe if you live in a big enough community, you could sign up for a summer class. My brother and I do that - last year, I got my CPR/AED training and took a German class, and my brother took a pottery class and an animal science class!

Of course, you can probably just spend most of the summer on the computer, but that's no fun, is it? Haha :) If you really can't find anything to do, you could learn stuff online, too. Live Mocha is a site where you can learn some languages for free (Or sign up for a tuition course if you want to). You can learn lots of instruments online, too. Of course, you can be like me and google whatever random topic comes to your mind, and go from there! I usually spend my summer showing rabbits in my region of PA, but that's just what I like to do! :)

Hope this helps! :)

Question by kevin: building a website to solicit donations to purchase electric wheelchair how to do it?
I had a stroke an need a mobility scooter to get out of the house. My only insurance is Medicaid an it will not cover it. I want to sit up a website to ask for donations to purchase one. I have limited computer knowledge thus I need advise on the cheapest, easiest way to set up the site and accept donations online from credit cards. Any advise is greatly appreciated.

First, I don't think a website is your answer... not at all. Second, because you have limited experience with computers. then you have a mountain to climb. The "Dummies" series books has a book on setting up a free web site
