transporting disabled in Prius?

How/when did this all happen??

 

rent a minivan

 

Or put the seats down to lie in the back.

 

I transported an old woman from church with a cement knee in my v quite successfully.

She had knee replacement, which got staph, so they took out her knee and put in a cement knee until she healed, then did another knee replacement.

3 operations in Memphis, 5 ER visits in Memphis, over 100 Dr visits, in Memphis and Jackson. (both are over 100 miles)

She liked how low the v rode, she did not have to climb into it. I lowered the back, got her In and raised the back as she was able to bend.

Because her knee did not bend, at one point she kicked my heater hose loose under the dash, other than that, it was her best choice.

I'm pretty sure you can rent a suitable vehicle. Tall, short, narrow, wide, whatever you're needing for your needs

 

Damn! Here's hoping you mend quickly.

 

Please send picture of car.

Just kidding. I suggest establishing a gofundme for medical expenses.

 

Oh no. That's terrible! I hope you get the care you need.

What about a wheelchair taxi? You can sit in the chair and get wheeled in the back of the van, just like a rental van, but the taxi driver drives on gravel roads. More expensive than your own car, but cheaper than the medical transport. Just a thought.

 

Good therapy crew there.

 

I wouldn't want to be standing on one leg around those dogs, they look like they are hungry for attention.

 

Dogs are excellent at providing therapy, both emotional and physical. Your pack of four will be ready and willing for walks when you are, and will be delighted to provide love and emotional support until then.

 

Thinking outside the box, does your Prius have a sunroof? JK

Cute dogs! You have my pack of three beat with that fluffy four!

 

Wow...
Just continued healing.
You're going to have to discover carefully and probably slowly what you become capable of doing.

I was charged with taking care of my ailing Mother and my nursing home bound Grandmother both who had severe physical limitations. Really it was just what they were capable of doing, with or without help, which was a discovery process.

The only tool I remember that helped, with my Grandmother specifically, was something like a Lazy-Susan seat bottom, it was a seat cushion designed to turn. so I could place her on it at 90 degrees, then just turn her into place facing forward. It helped.
BUT....
I haven't seen them since and I can't even remember where I bought it. However, I googled the term and the product in various forms, still exists. (googled-Lazy Susan Automotive Seat)---they seem to be called swivel seat cushions.

Good Luck...and continued healing.

 

One thing is RAV4...they say a lot of older people like RAV4 over Camry because Camry is low to the ground and harder for the older folks to get in. I trying to tell my wife (a Camry fan) she should consider RAV4 but the MPG is stinky vs. Camry hybrid last time I checked.

Sorry about the accident outcome, if I recall that was a Camry

 

Best wishes on your recovery. Sad to say my Holly and I are on an ER date for a minor hand wound.

Dog jumped out of her lap into the back and a claw put a ~ 1 cm tear in the back of her hand.

10 kg dogs ride in back, not lap, from now on.

Good luck.

My brother had similar injuries, and recovery takes time. So be patient.
