Barbara...........this is very interesting. So far the vote had been against the swivel seat for the car, which does have concave seats. Your comments about Medicare are helpful, too. I hadn't yet thought about this. Mary Legan 55/5 In a message dated 10/14/97 4:15:32 PM, you wrote: <<We tried a swivel seat in the car and were not happy with it. It is now in the trunk of the car. One thing that I did find out from our medical supplier is that while Medicare will not pay for a chair that lifts a person from sitting to standing, they will pay for a mechanism to put under a regular platform chair to turn it into a lift chair. Of course, your doctor must prescribe this, and you need to have or purchase a chair that will accomodate the mechanism. We do not have this yet, but it might work for the right person. You should visit your local medical supply store and see if you can use what they have. Barbara Smith, CG/Ken/69/16
