Hey Quadius, I'm in the same situation. I just got my new Invacare storm from the VAMC in Long Beach, Ca. I've been back and forth with them explaining its not going to work for me. The rep told me I'd sit lower and the chair wouldn't be as long as my old chair. This turned out to be a lie. Another problem I have is the electronics are different than my older arrow storm. The mk4 electronics was easy to switch back and forth from recline to drive. The new mk6 electronics takes a lot more time. You have to shuffle through all the drive modes. I try to show and explain the difference between the older mk4 to the mk6 but the therapist and the invacare rep were clueless. They just want to be through with me. I just left the chair at the VAMC. It's been a week and now I'm just getting the run around. What didn't work for you on the Invacare chair? How did you petition for another chair? Did your therapist assist you with that? What new chair works for you? I'm currently still using my 13 yr old Invacare arrow storm with the labac recliner. It's been a good chair but its just worn out. Sean c4-5 chin control In a message dated 7/18/2008 1:48:29 P.M. Pacific Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
I ordered an Invacare through the VA and once it arrived they spent about 2 1/2 hours setting it up and even though I complained it was not even close to being correct, they were through. I took the chair home just to try it out and returned a little later telling my therapist or was no way I could use it unless it was modified. After sitting at my VA for six months I finally petitioned them to purchase a new chair. Needless to say it's not an Invacare. Right now I'm waiting on Majitek to send my drive system for my new chair so I can start trying it out. Quadius **************Get fantasy football with free live scoring.
