Lisa was sitting with her friend Anna in her room at the rehab centre when she realized that her next rehab session would start soon.
"I have to go now to my next appointment," Lisa said.
"What are you going to learn today?" Anna asked.
"I am not sure. Probably more about transfers from the chair to something else."
"Do you want me to push you?"
"I would love to, but my arms need exercise."
"OK, see you tomorrow then. Shall I bring anything?"
"No I am fine."
Lisa started to move her wheelchair towards the door.
Anna got up and opened the door.
"Thanks. See you then."
"See you."
A few minutes later Lisa arrived for her appointment.
Her therapist was already there.
"Hi Lisa," Marc greeted her.
"Hi, Marc. What's the plan for today?" Lisa asked.
"Today I show you how to transfer from the wheelchair into the bath tub," Marc said.
He looked at her black leggings.
"You have the right clothes on. Of course we will do it without water and you can leave all your cloths on."
"Sounds good."
"First you need to push your chair as close to the bath tub as possible."
Lisa did as she was told and put the brakes on.
"Now you need to get your shoes off."
Lisa slowly bent forward and lifted slowly her left leg and removed the slipper she was wearing. The same she repeated with the right leg.
"Very good. Next you need to put your legs into the tub."
Carefully Lisa bent over and lifted her left leg over the edge of the bath tub.
