Chairless in Toronto

My Quantum 6000 Power Chair has developed problems and stopped working on the street. With some difficulty and luck, managed to bring it home. It has now gone for repair. Something seems wrong with one of the motors. It says, the connection is loose and the chair suddenly goes in circles. Over the weekend, the Shoppers Home Healthcare folks took the chair away for repairs. They gave me a loaner chair. Unfortunately, the loaner chair also conked out and I had to leave it in a grocery store (Metro) over the weekend. It must have been collected from there on Monday. Still no word when my own chair will come back or what the damages will be. I shall keep you posted.

More about the Chair

Well, I have had the chair for a couple of months now. Must say it is easy to get used to. The only fear is that the little use of normal walking will now be given up. I am sure things will gradually deteriorate from disuse. I had a flat tire last week and had to wait 2 days while it was getting fixed. Now I have requested for hard wheels, the kind that will not puncture. Let us see how that goes.
