The wheelchair they have given me I can't use because it makes my legs numb and I can not transfer to the toilet, they haven't taken into account how tall I am, I am very nearly 6ft tall and my femaur measure 24" so the seat isn't deep enough, and because I am so tall and big boned I get given a Barbaric Wheelchair but it doesn't fit in our house which is a small cottage, I get told when I get down to 18st give them a ring, there are plenty of wheelchairs out there that take 19 stone, but I have to have the one they want me to have I am in one that was going to be thrown away, the other thing is the NHS wheelchair is to heavy for my sister.
