Power Chair on the Mend…

Pumpkin (electric wheelchair) is going to be fixed. I need a side support and a hip guide, the mechanics said, basically those are things that position you the wheelchair. I had them both in my old chair, but I (stupidly) let them talk me out of having them in my new chair.

Until he’s back up and running, I’m in Sheila (old chair) and feeling much safer; no tipping danger there. I’m never letting them talk me out of getting items I know I need for my chair to work again. I know my body better than any mechanic does, any day.

Live and learn!
