Recuperation journey: Happy, happy, joy, joy
My husband Ralph and I found out this morning his new wheelchair is arriving Monday, along with a technician who will finish assembling it, and make sure it fits Ralph or Ralph fits it.
Not sure how that goes.
The new chair should make his life so much easier. I'm happy for him that it's almost here.
The antique wheelchair pictured probably isn't all that comfortable, but I do like the umbrella for the summer, or for rainy days.
And that desk would be perfect for Ralph's laptop. He could work as he goes!
This is what he's getting. -->
