Getting a new chair is akin to pulling teeth, or so I'm told. I just figured I'd start the paperwork about six months ahead of when I need it. The TDX3 I'm using has been a good chair but it is getting worn our fast. I tryed to tell the folks at Medicaid that I wouldn't pester them about ramps if they'd get me a chair that climbs steps. My facilitator wanted to know if I was high. I'm with Mark. I hope you like your chair and it keeps you free and "taking up all the good parking places.". john -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [email protected] Sent: Wed, 31 Jan 2007 12:22 PM Subject: RE: [QUAD-L] New Chair It's always nice getting a new chair.

Invacare TDX5, (tilt, recline, seat elevator, electric leg rests). I had to go up and get in it so they could make any adjustments to it. Only minor things, but they have to make some knee/thigh pads to keep my knees from spreading. I sit fine in my old chair, but this one has a center post leg rest, instead of individual leg rests. I like a center post one better, but you do sit better if there are 2 leg rests. But when you have individual electric leg rests, each leg rest must get plug into the chair. So it’s a hassle getting them on and off. The center post can just lower and tuck back under the chair. I can tell it is a bit faster than my TDX3, but so much smoother to drive. I think I’m going to like the different back on it a lot. Instead of a basic square padded back, this one has the top corners cut off. So your shoulders have room to move around. It should be delivered within the week. I never thought they would approve this chair with all the extras, but they did… I hope I like it… Greg ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the new AOL.
