Today I had my EE clinic assessment. The clinician I was working with today was absolutely brilliant and taught me some really valuable skills. He decided that I didn’t need to do the skills course thing and decided I was confident enough. I tried a few different wheelchairs and he taught me how to mount a curb independently and dismount a curb safely either backwards or forwards. He was absolutely amazing and I’m so pleased with the skills I was taught. He was extremely knowledgable and supported me through the entire thing. I ordered my wheelchair and he talked me through what would be beneficial to me and answered all relevant questions about my comfort and made the chair perfectly suited to me. I was told it should be here in around 12 weeks (maybe even less)
I decided to go with the Quickie Argon and I got it in Flamingo Glitter which made me really happy as I had my heart set on a pink wheelchair. He talked me through the different specs and what it would mean and used the practice chair to help me pick the best measurements and such. I really enjoyed my day and actually had fun at the appointment and found myself more confident than ever. Thank you so much for today! I look forward to picking up my third and final wheelchair.
"Thank you so much"
