I am having foot problems for 10 months and have decided to give a short term wheelchair a spin. My foot condition recommends about 4 months of rest. I've given up on workers comp getting me anything but a bottle of ibuprofen I can't take.

One of the main concerns I have is that I am below average height. Is there an adjustment or sizing on wheelchairs? Is the little seat pad thing a comfort necessity? I can sit in a plain old chair most of the time just need the wheelchair for getting around. Do I need to care about the armrests?

I'm kind of excited to think I can start putting on makeup and doing my hair and putting laundry away. I'm also getting a trolley/bus pass since driving hurts so much too. I guess that means I would have to be able to fold the wheelchair up?

Didn't think I would be this happy about getting a wheelchair!
