ds has a new wheelchair

[roundthebend4]

Bit of good news , we was fortunate while back to get a powerchair from someone on anothe forum

But thanks to someone posting a link have been able to buy on ebay a very lightweight manual chair for ds3 went to Norwich to collect it and the condtion of it is perfect and smack on the right size with room to grow to

And was about 1/8th of the orginal price but will make a big differnae to him

Oh and ds likes the purple and Yes Glittery it is cadburys purple

Glad he likes the purple. Saves you a job

what did it for him was the fact that the front wheels light up when moving he kept trying look down

apologises to everyone at Norwich station who had to move out the way

How cool! I want one

cool!
ds wanted cadbury purple for his first wheelchair but instead WS ordered a plain blue one...he was sooo not chuffed...so we covered it in Lightning McQueen stickers instead!

I managed to get a jenx rifton gait trainer (junior) from ebay for £50! It is perfect for little 'sneezecake's boy'. Currently he is eyeing it up with suspicion but it has all the bits to get him going without the endless OT wait. EBay is brilliant!

always wonder whether its stuff people have bought or whether its SW supplied stuff, our OT says they see loads of stuff up the car boot sale with their labels on. cheeky!

It doesn't surprise me glittery.

I know a few parents who've got a mac major from OT and sold it on Ebay. naughty naughty!

It doesn't surprise me either. Iv'e just handed back a mac major, rollator, standing frame, wheelchair etc after years of not using them for having them replaced as he's got bigger!!
Maybe I should of tried my luck with ebay, to help with funding his car seat!! LOL X

Lol at wcs supplying lightweight wheelchairs

this ones still under waranty,hmm mind selling my house now looks like Motorablity shop

The front wheels light up?? That's ACE!

I saw a little lad in a powerchair at V fest who had green neon strips underneath!

Glad he likes the colour :)

Purple is good. When DS first started playing powerchair football we bought a powerchair on Ebay for £75 as he is only entitled to a manual. DH sprayed it purple and it really did the trick!
Still not entitled to a powerchair, only a manual one despite the fact that he can't self-propel. But DS has just bought himself a superfast Invacare TDX Sprint. It cost more than my car is worth.

Love the colour Purple!
Equipment bought new by OT is so expensive. a gait trainer around £800-900!. DGS may need one in the future but we're happy at the mo with ebay buy.

Lots of Piedro boots supplied by physio are sold on ebay. So disgusted at that, we will give ours back as they are sent out to under developed countries for little ones with walking problems. Can't believe people will take them for their own children with disabilities and not try to do something for poor children in other countries

akward one sayitwithwine as sometimes ebay is only way other parents can get a pair while wait nhs ot slow
