hello my names dawn I live in Coventry & am fairly new to the world of wheelchair use about 3yrs now I have had cmt for quite some years now &I my walking was going down hill but managed with orthotics but not to the point of needing a wheelchair (wouldn't give in to it) what put me into my new mode of transport was a theough the knee amputation of my left leg . I got a car hoist for the w/c so I could still at least get to appointments etc but I still have to rely on my mum hwo is less than fit to take me places as a wheelchair driver vehicel is financially out of my death so I don't go out much just to the hospital or chiropractor so I've just had to suck it up & get on with it I have been looking for an organisation for a while that may be able to give me advice on some issues that are now croping up I have been looking at wrist supports but three are so many out there I am at a loss as to what to get & hoped for advice anyway that's that's my sed hello

Hi @winky
Good Afternoon it’s great to meet you today.
It’s great to meet you today.
Yes I had to start using electric wheelchair in 2005.
I had managed to resist the
"W/C” since 1998 following my “Stroke”
Please please let me know if I can help/support you?????
