I am going to take some classes in Janurary and wanted to ask others here how they deal with the rain when they need to go out. I transfer from my car to my chair and I need to find the best way to stay dry when I need to go to class. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Sheesh Im having same issue lately... From point A to point B, if its pouring rain I'd wait or hope to have a poncho near by. As for getting in the car, Im thinking Im going to just try an umbrella from the top of door to roof, see if I cant wedge it in some place to hold tight..

Trial and error, lol.

Rain in January? I wish!

Dip yourself in wax before heading out. Mount an open umbrella to the backrest of the wheelchair. Wear water resistant/proof clothing. Carry a portable hair dryer with a generator mounted beneath the chair. What the $#@! am I talking about...

Just do things as quickly as possible! Haven't found a better way yet.

I use a rain poncho and duck tape an umbrella to my chair because I only have the use of hand.and nerve damage makes rain painful

make=life=easier sells an umbrella that sits on your left shoulder.
