    Has she been assessed and recieved a powerchair yet?

    My wheelchair services is great, I have a high end active user 'chair and a powerchair provided which were both built to fit me.

    DONT go down the motability route for a 'chair unless you are desperate, they charge top prices and high intrest rates, you can get the same chairs for considerabley less when buying them privately and even credit card intrest rates work out cheaper when you consider the initial 'chair prices + intrest rate charged against motability prices.

    Sorry hon, been a busy few weeks here. It's not needed :) After being dismissed by surgeons and physio with the "there's nothing more we can do" line, she bought herself a gym ball and worked on her core. She's now walking with one crutch most of the time :T Still doesn't walk too far and uses her wheelchair for doing her housework, but the change in her has been amazing. Hoping she continues to improve at this rate
