The same hell as supermarket trolleys, but it may be they are as wonky as my back wot it steers them squint.

Apologies Tesco.

In my opinion all wheelchairs are made in hell!

Are you able to watch YouTube? You might be able to find some gentle Pilates exercises. I am really lucky and able to go to a class each week and have found it has really helped me.

A team of GNetters to swoop in (on their broomsticks grin) and help out? Wouldn't it be wonderful ?
Sorry, apart from one of those grubby stick things for picking things up I'm not sure I have any bright ideas. Hope paw is ok maw.

“You’ve got to take care of your back” chirped the pretty 20 something size 8 GP as I struggled to heave Paw’s wheel into a suitable position for her to examine him last week.
Yeah right, how? I was tempted to mutter through gritted teeth.
Seriously
Our wheelchair is not the heaviest but I don’t like trying to heave it into the boot. Hospital wheelchairs can be OK or they can be like a wonky supermarket trolley with the weight of an adult man in them.
Added to that I have to carry everything -bags of supermarket shopping from the car I go the house, move furniture for the (occasional) hoover. Bend down and pick up things for Paw you get the picture.
Already feeling a pain between my shoulder blades - lifting? and in my left hip (sciatica?)
Suggestions please!
