That is what my husband does on a regular basis. He has a form of Muscular Dystrophy and relies on six wheels on a power chair to get around.
His ride to work, shopping, vacations on Cape Cod and everywhere else, is a Ford Club Wagon equipped with a lift and zero-effort steering and brakes. It's so big that when we go to the supermarket or the mall the kids have always just looked for the "tan barn" out in the parking lot.
It's easy to spot.
Dealing with all the hassles that go along with being a paraplegic is a way of life we have come to know. Everything takes a little longer to accomplish, but we manage to get done what needs to be done. And hopefully it's with some style.

Did he used to give the kids rides on his chair when they were little?...I bet that you and Homer do most things with style.
It sounds like both you and Hubby have wonderful attitudes and have learned to make this way of life work for your family with aplomb and style.
Thanks Lynn, for having faith in me and Homer.
Joan, As my husband says, sometimes it "isn't pretty," but we just do what we gotta do.
he did give us rides...we would grab onto that bar on the back and he drove us up and down the hall!
