Default I got my chair

Well ater a few weeks of hell, hospital, hell, teeth being pulled ect ect and a bad relapse.... We went ahead and finally got me a wheelchair that I can actually use well without much energy at all. As of now I can barely go across the room without assistance from someone, wall, walker ect ect....so I found this deal just in time.

I never thought I'd be excited about getting a wheelchair, but I am. It's so nice and light, so easy to roll around myself even on low days. Some of my family put in together to get me it. I found it on Craigslist and I got an extremely good deal....extreme. They bought it for her BF who got disabled, but now able bodied and walking better. He only sat in it for a couple of months, and is basically new and my av color, blue. This model is around 2,000 new and I got it for 500

Real nice, light and the wheels pop on and off like nothing... It is comfortable as hell and I don't feel like a total gimp in it.....it's sporty and cool.

Here she is!

Yepp it is...So smooth and light feeling to roll. Makes going out a lot LESS of a pain and I don't have to master each new store power cart everywhere I go.

I have a Ford Transit Connect I drive and lots of room to swing the chair up in.... I can keep my independence once again, yee haww!

Hope you doing fine to, Sally-C

I didn't think it was possible for a chair to look cool but it does, kinda the Porsche of wheelchairs. I Love Craigslist...have found some amazing deals but you REALLY got a good deal. I hope it serves you well.

It looks way cooler than a typical steel one like hospitals use. I sit 'on-top' of it rather than sunk down in, in one of those steel clunkers that are heavy. I'd put my pic of m in it, but....ya know....camera shy
