Hi, just thought i'd start a new thread so you dont have to read through the old one.
had a phone call today to say my new wheelchair is being delivered tomorrow afternoon. :shock:
its only took 7 days from filling the forms out to it being delivered so how quick is that
OT had told me i would have to go hossie for it, but obviously not. not sure where its coming froming as OH took the call. I was sleeping as usual :roll:
now ive got to think about pimping those wheels
thanks for all your support

Hello Minky
I know from your other thread that you had mixed feelings about your wheels, but I am really pleased for you that, having decided to go for it, they will be arriving so quickly.

Hi Minky,
Wait till you see how much easier trips out will be, shopping etc will no longer be a struggle ... enjoy!!
SpeedyI have had OA since mid twenties. It affects my hips and knees. I had a THR on the left aged 30 and now have a resurface-replacement on the right - done May 2010.0 -
Hi minky
Wheelchair coming this afternoon so you will be shopping in comfort tomorrow.
This will make it so much easier for you.
Have fun, Like being on a waltzer when my OH pushes, I prefer my scooter but sometimes a chair can be easier.

Hi Debs
Not easy is it, but the difference it makes will make up for the mixed feelings.
Get some go faster stripes, and make it unique to you, and please keep within the speed limit
Good Luck
Love

Hi Debs,
They didn't hang about did they?! He is on his way up country and will drop in to pimp it for you... it will not be mud but give it a week he might chew it.... well you ow what he does
Hope it makes a huge difference and makes things easier for you.
oh don't forget when you go shopping... jelly babies (((( )))) and hope it soon gets warmer for you. Love Cris xx0 -
Hi Rose, I just told him that & he's not impressed. Shopping isnt his fav subject but its waiting for a test drive. he had a test run round the living room :roll:
cris, i have jelly babies, jelly tots, jelly beans & a lorry load of CDM on me shopping list.
not sure im allowing him near it as its brand new & teeth marks are against loan rules Im trying to work out how i get insurance for it too, as it says i have to insure it for theft :shock: & third party injury :shock:
perhaps theyve met my OH

Woo-woooooh! Look at you!
Hi Debs
Don't stick stickers from days out on it
Not so cool.
For sure you need a cushion for your seat to star with and being you it will have to be a posh one.....furry?
Keep the emulsion for the walls too.....it washes off in the rain....
let me think some more

Hi Debs
Glad you are pleased with your new wheels and hope the weather improves soonish so you can get out and about. Have you got the "go faster" stripes on it yet? At this time of year a bit of tinsel will look good. Hope it does give you a bit more independence so you can do all that shopping.
take care
love
