I was heartbroken when I realised I needed a wheelchair for getting about for any distance, but I can honestly say I love it now. Theres even checkouts in primark specifically for wheelchair users. Always first in the queue. Not that I buy from there but the daughters think its a blast.

Good for you vashti I was like you very reluctant at first then my 12 year old grandson (at the time) said "gran you won't hold us up anymore " out of the mouths of children eh

Take care

Glad you're pleased with it Vashti. Make sure you wrap up warm. I was really surprised by how cold I got when being pushed around, but I refused to have a blanket over my legs because that would make me look like an old granny (yes of course I am an old granny, but who wants to advertise?) So I wear several layers of clothing and look like an old michelin man instead! Probably not an improvement. Jan :-)

You will be so glad you got it, Vashti. it will feel like a work horse after a while. Bags to add on for all the stuff from the craft shop! Also the joy of being able to stand up when you want so that you are level with all the wool and fabric to pick over.Carrying oxygen, no problem and you can regard it as another pair of legs. I really wish you lots of joy with it. No wheelies though, well not without practice. Wish you lots of trips out. love and love, Polly x

How wonderful, you will have so much fun. Although you may get a few annoying people saying "Does she take sugar," kind of remark. My son has been in a wheelchair for 15 years and still gets strange things said to, or about him.

A poncho with a hood, is very useful to pop over a coat, when the wind is chilly. My son manages to carry loads of stuff on his wheelchair, he has a tray underneath for extra room. Do you think one of the dogs would ride on your lap?

Have fun :D

Congrat's Vashti. Shame it's the start of Winter instead of Summer, but I'm sure you'll have some enjoyable trips in it.

Love the pick - sums up my personality! :-D
