Power wheelchair.

I’ve got my assessment for power wheelchair in a couple of weeks, my OT said I might not get one she said the last few referrals have been knocked back!! I hope not 🥺

Ellie, thanks it is great.

Debbie, I was given a mini salsa too, the cushion is not quiet right, but they have ordered me a different one, which is likely to mean longer out, once I am more comfortable.

My family are a bit nervous about my plans to want to explore and see where I can get too, and came at a good time as I had a driving assessment last week, which showed me I am not going to manage, so having the wheelchair gives me back part of being me.

So glad you're enjoying your powerchair Jacqui. I've had my Salsa mini for 18 months and like you, I love the independence it gives me.

For some strange reason I resisted having one until wheelchair services " kidnapped " me on a visit to the MND clinic to try one and I loved it .

Wheelchair services are quite happy to make adaptions to the chair if anything is uncomfortable and I have different cushions so make sure you ask if you need anything.

Enjoy your outings,
Love Debbie x

They're great, aren't they Jacqui.

Which one did you get?

Happy driving.

Love Ellie.

I had my power wheelchair assessment last week and much to my surprise I got to take it home on the same day. Since then I have been out everyday and love having some independence back.
