Some members of my family have very kindly clubbed together to buy me an electric wheelchair. It took quite some time to find one that came apart to go in the car, that my mum could lift alone, and was in our price range but we finally found one.
The batteries slide out and it then folds two ways to make it smaller. It’s supposed to be arriving tomorrow evening and I’m very excited! It is a fantastic feeling – having choice over where you can go and not the horrible feeling of guilt you get when someone has to push you.
Hopefully Debbie at Glamsticks will be able to bling it up for me as beautifully as she does my sticks.
Speaking of, I spent some of my birthday money on my fourth stick which is going to be shades of ocean blues.
