Oh boy! today I stayed home from work and my DH new wheelchair was delivered!
He was so happy, and said it was very comfortable and he was very happy. took forever to get--3 months from when we started the paper work. I t is a good think that this was a replacement for his old one and not his first....that is why pals should not delay in ordering.
much more streamline and quiet than his old chair, and drives so much easier. he also go leg switches so he can control it with his knees as they are stronger than his shoulders.
His favorite thing is the pads on his feet--did not have those on the old chair and felt so good! I was most nervous about transfers (of course) but I worked thru it with the wheelchair rep a couple of times so I would not be on my own and have problems.
The rep even helped us with attaching our drink holder and adapting it to our new chair. (IT IS A COBBLED TOGETHER ONE WE DESIGNED WITH SPARE PARTS. OUR $7005.95 DRINK HOLDER) :-D
