"Absolutely over the moon with my new wheelchair"

About: WestMARC (West of Scotland Mobility and Rehabilitation Centre)

(as the patient),

Today I went to Stirling Rehab Hub for my wheelchair. First of all, my clinician is amazing and managed to get this customised wheelchair to me in under a month! I’m really grateful. The chair was an Invacare Action NG3 customised to behave as an EE Chair. The chair is perfect in every way! Shortly after using the chair, I was told I could be referred for an EE assessment which may be a long wait, but gives me time to improve on my skills and get better. My new wheelchair is so comfortable and so wonderful. I’m absolutely over the moon with it! It’s completely changed my life. And i’m beyond excited for the EE assessment. Thank you so much to the staff at Westmarc for being so kind to me and helping me out! My clinician said I deserve to be able to do what everyone else can and my new wheelchair totally means I can!
