Have Heart Failure At Functional Level 3. In Need Of Motorized Wheelchair Due To Radial Tunnel Surgery. Suggest

I have heart failure. It is at functional level 3' Walking at night with symptoms is such a struggle
I walk with a cane or walker. I think it would be easier for my family and me to have a motorized wheelchair. Sometimes I just want to sit especially at night. My doctor is having a rival done tomorrow for the wheelchair. Will I get it I am over 100 pounds over the weight of my husband and he struggles to push me. I just had radial tunnel surgery so it would be a struggle to use a manual wheelchair.loriek

For grade 3 you can use diuretics a bit more than what you are using. you can have it with the advise of your doctor.Wishing that you get the motor wheal chair as soon as possible.
Avoid taking nonvegetarian foods completely. stop taking oily foods, and fries. Try to use fat removed milk.Thank you.
