I discovered the Omeo a few years ago and I instantly fell in love with this awesome little mobility chair. I had a severe car crash a few years ago on top of previous disc problems, nerve damage, RA, and other health issues. Thankfully, after A LOT of extremely painful physical therapy, I was able to walk again. The problem I have now is the PAIN. All of the little things that were so easy in the past, cooking dinner, cleaning the house, walking through the grocery store, etc… now cause me a lot of pain. A couple of years ago I was treated to my 1st cruise. I remember feeling a bit embarrassed, here I was 49yrs old where the rest of my group was pushing 60yrs or older and they all ran circles around me.☹️ Unfortunately, I was in an incredible amount of pain just from walking through the airport. When we got to the ship I rented a scooter. That was a tremendous help, but because of it’s size, it was a challenge just trying to get on the elevator or other areas when it was packed with people. It was even harder to get the scooter into my cabin. It just barely fit through the door. Anyway, I remembered the ad I watched for the Omeo while on that cruise and how awesome it would've been to have it instead. I just pray I'll have enough money one of these days to buy one. I barely leave my house anymore, but I believe that will change the day I finally own an Omeo. Cheers to the person who invented this awesome little machine! 🙂
I would love to have one, but I can't afford it right now. I'm glad you have one tho. I can see why you would love it. I have a very steep driveway and I'm too afraid to use my small electric wheelchair on it. I'm afraid it would burn up the motors. 2 Questions if you don't mind: Have you driven yours up something long and real steep? Did you have to go to them for training before you decided to buy one, or do they come to you?
