HI, my name is Cammy. For what it is worth, I JUST got info sent to me online 
re: scooters. Her are two sites. 1) mobilityproductinfo.com  2) 
thescooterstore.com
This last one has advertisements saying they will do all they can to put into a 
scooter. Hope this helps.

Subject: Re: [TMIC] Scooter

Somehow, these social workers and Durable Medical Equipment people don't 
understand that people also want to have a "Quality of Life".  In order to do 
that, we need to be mobile.  This is why equipment with wheels are made.  Sure, 
there are those who need scooters in their home for sure, but they aren't the 
only ones who benefit from them.

I had the same problem when I wanted a wheelchair.  She told me since I can get 
around my house without it that I didn't need it.  But I asked her if I was 
supposed to be house bound for the rest of my life or if I were supposed to try 
and have some quality to my life and go to a shopping mall, amusement park or 
county fair, etc. Sure, we all have our limitations, but don't let anyone 
discount what you can do and try not to let them stop you from doing it if you 
can help it.

OK, I've vented also.  I'll get off my soapbox now!

Hugs to all, Barbara A
