So, Clint,
our chair mechanic, came through this afternoon to tell me the left suspension
crapped out on my chair. Since I was in
it, he had a very limited view to see, so tomorrow, he’s coming before I get up
to turn it on its side to see if it’s an easy fix like a missing bolt. He did say it was the worst he’d seen on a Permobil
M300…ever. I take that two ways: a. It
sucks for me, because any loaner he gives me will be slower and not built for
me, so it’ll just be a point A to B chair until mine’s fixed…if we go out. And, B. I can consider that a compliment that
I’ve ridden it so hard in the 5 years I’ve had it…it’s been loved instead just
getting safe use.
Now,
technically, we could go two ways with this: A. we can fix it, B. I can get a
new chair, which I’m up for this past Summer with my 5-year anniversary
according to the gospel of the government.
Either way, I’ll have to have a loaner, which is like getting used to a
new car…every chair drives differently.
Of course, I’ll make it work for me, I always do, but, Man.
I haven’t
been looking at chairs on the market, because I know there won’t be anything comparable to my M300 speed-wise. Yeah, a cool looking chair that I can
accessorize and bedazzle (LOL) if I want to is cool, but I’m looking for speed
since we’re on the streets. A granny
chair ain’t gonna cut it.
We’ll find
out what’s what.
Be good to
each other.
