Standing Wheelchair

It's not very often that I get a chance to use my standing wheelchair. The feeling of being at my old height and being able to reach certain things is really wonderful. After 10-15 minutes, I begin to get a head rush (All of the blood pools in my lower extremities and my blood pressure drops making me pass-out) and I have to sit-down for a little bit.
The chair definitely gives me the ability to do things that I never could have done without it. The chair has its limits and it's not like a set of legs, but it's the best I've got at this point.
I've attached a picture of myself using the chair to decorate the Christmas tree.
