We got married in the chairs, and without them, day-to-day life would be impossible.
I have remained in practice throughout that time at first walking with a walking stick then within a few years progressing to elbow crutches. Seven years ago my MS had progressed even further and I began to use a wheelchair for 16 hours a day.
I discovered the Genie wheelchair and found I could carry on working.

I was able to drive from the Genie in my adapted car and able to go to educational and training events a considerable distance away. My Genie will also lie me down. I have not had to transfer onto a dentist’s couch for years!

A powered standing wheelchair like the Genie V2 allows you to rise to a standing or semi‑standing position at the touch of a button.
Regular standing can improve circulation, help reduce pressure injuries, support bone and joint health and make everyday tasks such as cooking, working at a desk or speaking to people at eye level much easier.
