Simple solutions to pesky problems
If someone has poor circulation in their legs winter and even fall can be the enemy. After a few hours under the covers or after a hot bath or putting on pants, blankets, or a heater may work. By accident I tucked the cover under my leg. I was completely toasty. If a wheelchair was just measured wrong that is a big deal, it isn't like an item of clothing in which you can visit customer service and with the receipt, return it. Analyze what is wrong with it and get advice from staff at a hardware store and or a service provider. If the issue is that the footplates are too low get pieces of wood to make them higher so your feet reach. If a major piece of the structure is sticking out and limits your transfer get it cut or welded then cover it with moleskin. Unfortunately, the professionals and manufacturers are the last to help, they are not trained to offer advice that isn't expensive and approved. So many people with issues just suffer, are steered wrong, or told their concerns are illogical.
