looking into gettting a battery pack for my manual wheelchair but unfortunatly cant get them on the nhs i already have a wheelchair but i have to self propell and thats all the nhs can provide and they cant give a pack to make it switch between electric and manual problem is that because i cna walk short distances i cant get an electric on the nhs and even if i could i could not then fold it enough to get it in and out of my carers car to get on and off the stage when performing etc so i have to find the money myself but it can cost up to 900 pound money which i dont have
rang the hypermobility unit in london today , since gp has said he is not alowed to reffer outside of wales they said private consltation for an hour is 300 pound ore money i do not have but they did say they could see me within the month if i found the money privately considering saving and asking anyone who woud normally get me something for christmas (thats not many people but) just to give me a little money towards it by this i man not much at all but anything si better than nothing then hopefully with me saving and that i should be able to eb seen and have the money by new year , so long as no unexpected bills show up in between , in the mean time im gonna look into charites and funding etc and see how i can get the money for the battery pack for my chair
i lve on a hill which has a couple of steps so an electric chair that is not light and foldable is not an option for me as it needs to be able to be pushed up the hill or steps that are outside , i can swap to a more accessible house in the future but apparently that can take years not only that but i am happy where i am, , so in short id rather the pack for the chair im crossing my fingers that me and support worker can find something
