Obtaining a wheelchair
After the incident of me falling and knocking myself unconscious, at Spurs ground and realising that very few places keep spare wheelchairs.
I decided to get my own wheelchair. I could not believe how expensive they were.
First Call Mobility, in Harlow, were very helpful and told me to get my doctor to send me for an assessment. The assessors were The Holly Wheelchair centre, where they assessed me as an occasional user.
They then gave me a choice of taking one of their wheelchairs, that they service every year and have cover in case of breakdowns or they would supply me with a voucher towards the cost of me buying my own.
This is worth knowing if you are thinking of buying a wheelchair!!
