Good luck getting your chair in a timely fashion. It it so tiring waiting
on something you need. How long did you have to wait between wheelchairs to
get a new one. I hope I can get a new one before she retires. My supplier told
me I could not get a new one until mine cost more to be repaired and a new
one and that could be forever with a permobile. I still have insurance to my
stepmom, but it seems like they are just as slow as Medicaid. My supplier
told me that insurance pretty much follows Medicare ruling. I have had mine
for years now. A lot of things are broken but not the price of the entire
chair. Has anybody ever heard of Medicare/Medicaid paying for a
Permobile.Just
wondering.

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.".

My new chair got in today. 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…
