Will give this more thought. thanks everyone. Husband not very keen though.
We have been practicing and he has now got right to the top which is 12 stairs plus landing then he uses quadstick to walk around the landing (L shaped) to our bedroom which he has not seen for a full year! I settled him in a chair and made a cup of tea and we sat up there for half an hour then came down backwards. He said it was good to see the garden and trees from a different perspective. He was exhausted afterwards but very pleased with himself. Obviously he would never try this without me being behind him and it is very slow but we made it.
That’s fantastic progress. Well sone to you both. It will get easier each time he tries it and hopefully it won’t be too long before he can come down forwards.
and to everyone else who have contributed to this thread. I can’t name you all.
This community are such an important part of everyday life for so many of us.
I’m so pleased that you have discovered there is still progress to be made.
Be kind and gentle with each other. Don’t expect too much but don’t give up. Accept any help offered.
Over time you will look back and realise you have, between you, made real progress and there is still more possibility ahead in the future.
All the best from us all.
Don’t forget to tell us how you are progressing. The information is invaluable to others as they deal with day to day concerns.
