[Blind-Rollers] wheelchair or a scooter

[Lauren Merryfield]

Hi,
Yes, I still have the loaner. Will they adjust things like that when the new one comes?
Thanks,
Lauren

Hi
Is that still the loaner?
When you get your own ask for custom seating which they can do with a seating specialist.

Hi,
I've wondered about a scooter, too. They are closer to the ground, it seems to me. And this loaner power chair I have is huuuuuuge, and the seat is waaaaaaay  too high for me. I almost fall out of the chair, so I haven't used it much lately. I thought I was afraid of it's power, but it is the seat I don't like. They can't do anything with it.
Thanks,
Lauren

HI, thinking about getting a  scooter instead of a power chair, they sound like the same thing. I have never seen an actual scooter; are they those things you see at the store like wallmart? It just seems that they go further than a power chair; is this correct? I stopped looking for one cause everyone in my family has to argue, “that will not fit in the car…now I have to get a knew car, you have to help me pay for it..”  NO matter that me walking around has caused me to fall several times but, that is what they care about.So I think I will be on stupid crappy transit cause I cant wait anymore. I had so mini bruises that someone might have thought I took up prise fighting! Sie Heather
