Hilja comes home

We brought Hilja home today.

We used the wheelchair and an Invalid Taxi, which is subsidized for her.

To bring Annikki and her home it cost just Euro 2.40, whereas a normal taxi trip would haver cost Euro 21!

The taxi has a lift attachment at the back, so Hilja did not have to be taken off the chair. She could be wheeled into the taxi.

The driver, who is experienced in handling wheelchairs, took the wheelchair into the house, with me just giving him a small helping hand.

Hilja does not use the wheelchair in the house, as she can manage with the walker. But to get out of the house or to come in, the wheelchair is now essential.

Hilja is in good spirits and glad to be home again.

Anniki is reenergized by the short holiday and especially by the wonderful messages about her cake designs as the 2006 Calendars are just reaching people around the world.
