Two weeks ago we began speaking with a wheelchair company representative about my needs going forward for the next six to eight months and we came up with the specifications for a fairly fancy motorized wheelchair. The wheelchair company submitted a claim to our insurance and ordered fabrication of the wheelchair.
On Friday of last week we received pre-authorization from our insurance company to receive the wheelchair and simultaneously the wheelchair arrived at the wheelchair company facility close by.
This afternoon at 2:30 p.m. we have an appointment with the wheelchair company technician to be introduced to this fantastic new enabler of freedom and mobility. We will be going on a series of practice outings for the remainder of the week, and if all goes as expected then from this afternoon onward I will be able to go just about anywhere that is wheelchair accessible in Seattle! Yahoo!!
Of course I'll have to give my new mount a fitting name. I'll wait several days to allow us a chance to get to know one another and then will come up with something.
Looking forward to being a little saddle sore!
