That's where we pick ours up at the Portland Airport. We always save space in our carry-on for the trip home, just for a couple boxes of Sees.

Thanks Churchy and FelineFan for the online info.

I come in wanting to read about SG's - and I leave craving fresh spun Cotton Candy ... thanks guys, thanks ....

"And here, ladies and gentlemen we have Hollywood's preeminent stunt woman. Sorry about the accident."

Love the interraction.

As to the crutch/cane holder on the side of a WC, I ave an idea. A piece of PVC pipe that the foot of the crutch will fit inside. A cap on the bottom (with a drain hole to prevent it becomein a rain gage). The tube needs to be slightly less than the length of the WC frame from the top of the fabric seat back at the hand grip to the bottom of the back frame piece. A webbing loop at the top loops over the hand grip and is stopped from sliding on down the frame by the seat back. A velcro strap attaches around the arm rest where it attaches to the frame back. And lastly another velcro strap at the bottom to hold it to the frame at the bottom (so the cane can't become top heavy and flip the holder over).

It wouldn't be too hard to make such a thing and would be installable on nearly any chair. In fact you may want to have two. One for the crutch and one for an umbrella. And being made from PVC plastic and webbing it would be light and easy to carry along until a chair is obtained. In fact it may even be able to be hung on the crutch itself for non-WC travel.

Quick! Patent that!!! I know I'd pay for one.

I can't tell you how many times my crutch has slipped, the rubber tip hits the ground as the chair is rolling and then the cuff smacks me in the face.

Not fun. Talk about needing an E stop.

I'm afraid one day it might cost me my front teeth!!!

You could also try these clamps. I have been using them for years, first the small ones for various computer cables and connectors that I had to take with me on job sites, then I started using the big ones at home. I use the mega size to hold 50 foot extension cords with no problem. they could certanily hold the weight of crutches, and you could clamp them in place quickly!!

They sell them at Walmart and Sears, to name a few places!!

(The really small ones are great for at the electrical charges when we travel!)

I say hold the crutches across the handlebars of the ECV to make sure no SGs encroach...if they do, smack 'em upside the head or reposition crutches to give 'em a good poke @12mph! :twisted:

You could remove the rubber tip, and have a sharpened spike, like the walking sticks we use in hiking!!

Oh hey now, that sounds like something I'm definitely going to have to look into! Thank you Pirate!!! Even thought my husband still teases me for saying "Sea-ers" instead of "Seers" when I pronounce the name (it's a two syllable word in this state, I'm sorry!) he might still take me there to get one of those dealeos!

You guys may seriously have saved my front teeth, or my nose which is enough a tribute to my British heritage it does NOT need any more help.

Though the idea of using it to poke SG's has occurred to me on several occasions if I'm being honest. . .but I would never do it.

Except if I could go back and whack the guy who burned me with his cigarette by walking next to my chair in a crowd and holding it far and away backward from him. THen I might use it.

I heard the sound before I felt the pain *cringe* spent half the afternoon at first aid getting ice packs.

Now here's a. . . well I won't say, "Stupid" CM moment but I will say "dippy".

I went to first aid in Epcot. Lady asks what my problem is.

I say, I need an ice pack please, I got burned by a cigarette.

She frowns at me and says "That's why you shouldn't smoke."

and I said "no, not MY cigarette. I don't smoke."

She still clucked her tongue at me as if I had burned my own arm with a cigarette just for fun *smacks forehead*

Doesn't belong at Disney.

That's one thing that I feel myself becoming militant about. People who don't deserve to work at Disney who are here. People whom I refuse to refer to as Cast Members (that includes most of the bus drivers these days).
