dear debbie
my husband is the one with pd and so far i haven't thought
about his having a problem with sliding in and out of car till i read
your message.what i've used for myself is a pillow because i am
short and have arthritis so i use a satin pillow case on a foam firm
square 4 inch pad it works well for me and may do for your mother.
please don't use plastic because a sudden stop could cause her to
slide off seat.
my husband is a six foot big man so i will try to cover a flat
pad with satin.who knows it may work for pds as it does for me.
connie tate cg for jack 78 pd 5 years now but managing well.
