We took my grandparents to Sea World (or was it Six Flas of Texas?) for the afternoon/evening. Determined to have fun, we did "wheelies" and "dances" with those dang WC's. Man...they are heavy! <br /><br />I'll never forget how hard my grandparents laughed - especially my grandmother. "Sherry, you're going to dump me into the fountain, the bush, the whatever..." and of course I didn't. We were going FAST.<br /><br />I don't know how anyone deals with WC's on a daily basis. They are HEAVY. My dad and grandmother each had one at the same time and ..... trying to get two in the SUV (nevermind THEM) was quite something.Have Myelin?https://www.blogger.com/profile/05704037582961814202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19312567.post-60112272152900827312012-01-24T20:54:08.792-05:002012-01-24T20:54:08.792-05:00Cranky, feel free to pass this along to your frien...Cranky, feel free to pass this along to your friend.

Caregiving work is physical work. Glad that Planet Fitness has insight into that. <br /><br />Your post reminded me of a friend who used to love pushing Skip when she still used a manual chair. She wanted the extra exercise that came with the pushing!Crankyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995365444853477833noreply@blogger.com
