Wheelchair Funding

Since August we have been pursuing Merv's wheelchair funding.  The only hitch has been the decision of which wheelchair to purchase!  The first wheelchair we tried was a Glide, the Malvern Star of wheelchairs.  Unfortunately the cost of it was frowned upon and the OT returned to us to find us a cheaper version.  The cheaper version was brought to our door by the OT and a another wheelchair rep.  We tried it at home and disputed its effectiveness.  Merv said it was not a comfortable chair and I was not happy with the too large turning circle.  There is ten centimetres difference in the length of the two chairs we are comparing. I am not happy with this difference.  We meet again with the OT and yet another wheelchair rep.  We are happier with the chair he presents to us and we have the use of it at home for one week.  We have yet to make an informed choice.  Mel's health is my only priority today. She is improving each day.
