Hi there,
You speak of being in a power chair,
And working a dog if I understand correctly?
My question for you is, how do you get around the step down curbs?
Or do you live in a down town area where curbs are flat?
I don't, some are flat and some are step down.
There is one curb, I know sees me coming, and gets higher each time.
If it wasn't for my cane, I would feel as if I would fall over.
There are times when my husband has to help me down this curb.
