After six months of waiting the day has almost arrived.
Yes it is the day I will get my wheelchair.
I did not realise it would be such a difficult thing to ask for. What I thought would happen was that I would get a chair straight away but no, it depends on your needs. I know someone who has more needs than me and he was made to wait one year for his new chair. Surely this cannot be right.
Last year I decided along with my key worker and occupational therapist to get a wheelchair to work alongside my walker. The chair I looked at on Wednesday needed some alterations so they said they would deliver it next week.
I do appreciate the position wheelchair services are in but I do think they need to realise that they are dealing with real people who are disabled by having to wait.
