    We had a wheelchair on loan but it was very heavy and we sent it back only fairly recently. 2 weeks later we needed it again - typical! Will look into getting one like yours Beanie, sounds ideal. The thing is with Mr SA he tries to be so independent, he said no to quite a few things he was offered when he first came out of hospital. I remember them talking about the voucher scheme.

    What a depressing day! Mr SA has been moping about all day worried about tomorrow and I have been miserable with the double whammy of Mr SA's tests and being moved at work. Wish I was still on holiday :(

    Hi Sun.A, :hello:

    So pleased you had a great holiday!

    Bubbles' excellent write-up will make your choice of scooter much easier - there are so many different types!
    Maybe MrSA would enjoy renting the most promising models for a week or so each; give 'em a decent test-drive before choosing the best one for him?

    Best of Luck with work [STRIKE]idiots[/STRIKE] issues and medi-tests in the morning.. :)
