Hi,
I had a question regarding ECV usage for my mother. We are a party of 8, and my mother is the only member of our party with an ECV and is physically disabled. She has the ability to walk MAYBE five steps without the use of a walker, and a lot of assistance. She can also transfer to chairs and transfer to wheelchairs with help. With a walker, she can probably walk about 30 feet before she has to sit down for a 20 second break.
My first question is --- the rides that say transfer to Wheelchair --- is the Wheelchair provided for her at the ride? She is a larger woman and is already worried that the width of the wheelchair will be too narrow.
Second question is --- will she have an issue in restaurants? She can transfer to a chair at the table (and then we can move the ECV I guess), but will not be able to park an ECV outside and then walk to the table (unless the restaurants have some type of walker available).
Third question is --- are there any fold-up walkers that we could purchase that maybe could be connected to the ECV so that when she has to transfer, if the ECV can't go in, we can use?
