Guest guest Posted May 23, 2004 Report Share Posted May 23, 2004 Hi Jeanne, In reference to the w/c one thing to lookout for if you are on medicare is they will pay for either manual or electric but not both. I paid $250 for a manual and let medicare buy the electric. So far I am only using it as a computer chair! Works great, just motor to the frig for a Dr. Pepper and back to computer. My walking is bad to getting worse but still getting by slowly on walker as long as possible. I went to a med shop for the w/c and they did not measure me or anything. Just had me try out several and pick one out. Mine only reclines part way. Also they billed ins. over $6000 for the Jet II and I found it later on the net for $3100 retail. Had no idea what they billed until I received papers from ins The manual is just a regular old w/c. Kinda wish I had hunted for one liter and bigger wheels so I could propel myself. Good luck and shop around on the net first for what they will do. Arlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
