In February, the 83-year-old Uncle Xu was not flexible because he was not convinced of the old, loved face, and was reckless, but he would rather walk with crutches and refuse to use an electric wheelchair to walk, and as a result, he was careless, which affected the whole family!

Because of Parkinson's disease, the elderly Uncle Xu can only walk forward with crutches. His son Minghao, who works in Shanghai, was worried that crutches were not safe, so he went to the store and chose an electric wheelchair from a Hong Kong brand for Uncle Xu to use when he went out.

Because this electric wheelchair is very safe, it is specially equipped with electromagnetic brakes, which can respond quickly even when going up and down the slope, and the seat belt and anti-backward wheels are very firm, which can effectively avoid accidents.

But Uncle Xu is more stubborn and unconvinced, whenever his son mentions an electric wheelchair, Uncle Xu always refuses: "I can walk, I don't need that thing yet." So, it has been almost a year since I bought this electric wheelchair, and I haven't used it once, until the accident last year, I was remembered.

In May last year, Uncle Xu refused to be accompanied by his wife, Aunt Sun, on the grounds of "short distance", and went to the supermarket downstairs alone to buy soy sauce. However, not far from the gate, Uncle Xu was tripped and fell to the ground by a loose and warped brick on the road, and his face and palms were rubbed with blood. Fortunately, a neighbor sent Uncle Xu to the hospital in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

After learning the news, Aunt Sun and Ming Hao also rushed to the hospital and got the test results from the doctor: In addition to multiple abrasions on his body, Uncle Xu also had fractures on his left hand and both legs, and he needed to be hospitalized for observation and **, and the estimated cost was about 30,000 yuan.

In addition, Uncle Xu is also inseparable from human care, Aunt Sun is not in good health, can not work too hard, usually can provide simple care during the day, and the son and daughter-in-law not only have to face the pressure of work, the fatigue of the round-trip journey, but also take turns with the nurse to take care of Uncle Xu.

When one person suffers, the whole family suffers. During that time, the whole family was shrouded in gloom.

During the days of hospitalization, Uncle Xu gradually realized that his physical condition no longer allowed him to walk like before. He began to miss the electric wheelchair that was shelved in the corner, and after he was discharged from the hospital, he took the initiative to use it.

I have to say that the design of this electric wheelchair is quite humane, considering that some elderly people have inconvenient legs and feet, and it is not safe to get on the car from the front of the seat, so the liftable armrest is designed. Uncle Xu can lift one side of the armrest upwards and then sit safely from the side. And the wheelchair control is also very simple, Uncle Xu will be able to drive autonomously after more than 10 minutes of familiarization.

At present, Uncle Xu has fully adapted to the life of an electric wheelchair. He can go out for a walk and shopping in an electric wheelchair accompanied by his family, or he can walk and exercise with an electric wheelchair. For family members, electric wheelchairs also reduce their psychological burden and life pressure to a certain extent.

In fact, there are many old people like Uncle Xu who are not old and love to be strong, but Brother Shen, I want to say that "not accepting the old" is not the same as "not old"! With the growth of age, the decline of physical fitness is an inevitable phenomenon, if the elderly are indeed inconvenient legs and feet, it is recommended to use an old scooter, or an electric wheelchair to travel safer, and must not be reluctant to accept the old.
