re: #153 A Mom Anon

You have several excellent points in your comment, but I would like to talk about this:

Why is a special wheelchair 20K in the first place? I get that technology evolves and changes, early adaptation is rarely cheap.

I was thinking one day, that someone should invent a wheelchair that could raise the seat so the chair-driver’s head was at the same height as those of standing people. About a month later, one rolled up to the counter of the deli I worked at. After serving the young man, I came around the counter to admire his chair, and I told him I had just thought there should be such a chair, ‘and here you are!’ He said it was working well, it was very expensive, and he had very good insurance.

It would raise hydraulically.
