Wheelchairs, walkers, etc.

We learned today that we can probably borrow a wheelchair from the Rotary Club or the American Legion, but they may be from the stone ages. Since we are hoping he really won't need a wheelchair for quite a while, we may borrow one just to see how it works in the house and then return it and if he ever needs one, we can see how much they cost.

I did go ahead and order a walker, though, one with a seat and locking wheels. It also folds. He will be able to use that now just for more stability in getting around the house. Don't think insurance will pay for it, but at the moment we can afford it.

And I'm going to get literature from The Scooter Store.

I sent all of the emergency room records off to the oncologist today along with an email summarizing our visit to the emergency room and asking him what we should do going forward. We should hear back from him tomorrow or Thursday.

Marshall felt better today, but he stayed on top of the pain and that helped. Our moods have improved a little bit. Looking forward to Tanya's visit this weekend.
