Thursday, September 16th

Today I was measured for my own wheelchair.  I have my fancy neon lime green wheelchair but it's not actually mine.  It's a demo wheelchair I am renting.  We took about 50 measurements and answered about 50 questions to see exactly what I need.  Little things like the weight of the chair, the cushion, the back, the wheels, there are really unlimited things that are changed to make a chair just for me and my abilities.  Now just to get my insurance to approve it without a fight.


I think a lot of people were hoping I would get home and start healing quickly and then I wouldn't need my own wheelchair.  That unfortunately isn't the case.  I am happy to get my own and I know I will get good use out of it.

Scott wants to know if he can try to do a wheelie 360 with your new chair. Does he have your permission?

That will be SO nice to have a chair custom fit just for you! Good luck with the insurance.
