Handicap vans


My father is a diabetic person for a long period of time. It was discovered during his middle 30's that he has diabetes. He went to the doctor but not frequently because he thinks that diabetes is just a simple illness that can easily be manage. As time goes by , he experienced different signs and symptoms of diabetes such as having an eye cataract, numbness in his both hands and feet, dryness of the skin, always thirsty and hungry even if he is full. When he went to the doctor for check-up, there he found out that his diabetes became more complicated because there were already blood veins that clog up due to an increase of blood sugar that results to thickening of blood. The doctor prescribed him a lot of tablets and capsules that includes insulin for his daily maintenance but unfortunately his blood sugar was uncontrollable. Last 2002 of October, he was admitted to a hospital because his feet was suffering from gangrene. The doctor advised him to amputate his right leg just below the knee to stop the bacteria from spreading. Right now, He is already in a wheelchair. His diabetes was already controlled by taking his daily maintenance. It doesn't mean that when a person is disable , he or she can no longer do what he wants and visit places that he/she likes because he still can move. There are a lot of equipments and hi-tech gadgets that could make a disabled person live normally. In spite of my fathers disabled condition, we still travel a lot, visit places that we want just like we were doing before his leg amputation because there are vehicles made for disable persons. There are several mobility manufacturers who provide assistive technology for individuals with disabilities. Among the most popular are accessible vehicle modifications, ranging from lowered floor minivans to turning seat solutions to hand controls.
