Hi John,
Who makes the TDX SP? What kind of hand made adaptations are you getting? What is CMS? Steve - C4, 21 years From: John S. [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, June 01, 2009 6:21 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [QUAD-L] speaking of wheelchairs It has now been 13 months since I began the process of getting a new wheelchair. it has to have so much hand made adaptations it would be cheaper to buy a better chair that doesnt charge extra for things they consider standard. I'm getting a TDX SP. (stop laughing) Considering all the special stuff on it, It isn't hard to imagine it taking them longer. The disappointing part is when you learn that stuff only takes a few days, the hold ups were caused directly by CMS. I'm sure glad I started getting this replaced as soon as I was eligable. There is no way on Earth CMS could get me a wheelchair in a timely fashion if the thing was dead. When they deliver my new wheelchair, I should just begin working on getting it replaced. I've heard it said that the biggest cost of a power chair is the CMS paperwork involved. Considering all the phone calls and do over office visits, my chair may set a record in paperwork costs. Final fitting is june 8th. I'm sure I'll just smile and thank everyone. I try to make those involved feel they have really accomplished something. After all, my chair probably caused the economic meltdown. Best to all, john
