My sister has spent a considerable time in a wheelchair. The bad part about that is our bedrooms were down stairs, so each night she would have to struggle out of her chair, scoot down the stairs on her butt while someone would carry her chair down to her.
I wonder how expensive it would have been back then (ten, fifteen years ago) to get a stair lift* put in, cus now they are under 2000, which is a pretty affordable price considering all the time and energy it would have saved my poor sister!
( stair lifts are like roller coasters that are hooked up to the stairs. its a very nice way to allow someone confined to a wheelchair the ability to move around the entire house!)

Tom's chair in itself is 400 pounds, plus his 190 frame... it would scare me to use one of those things with his set up.
Of course, we don't have any stairs here, so its not an issue. :D
