I really appreciate you sharing this!! I have POTS and there are times i think about how much easier life would be with a mobility option that doesn't involve standing/walking. How did you navigate finding (and paying for ':-0 ) the right wheelchair for you?
You're so welcome! Happy to share! Yesssss it really makes such a huge difference tbh. Especially if I want to try and venture for longer outings and stuff. At first I was looking into just getting a cheap one on Amazon to try, but one of my fellow POTSie friends locally actually had an extra wheelchair sitting in their basement that they didn't need anymore! So I was fortunate enough to get that from them and it fit me wonderfully (It was originally hot pink and they gave me permission to paint it black and customize however I wanted lol). Otherwise, I've actually seen some chairs at like local thrift stores or you can look on Facebook marketplace or mobility aid groups online where a lot of people share 2nd hand chairs and mobility aids for a big discount!
You do you K and stay strong! Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Thanks so much friend!! Good to hear from ya, hope you're hanging in there
Hey do whatever that gets you through the day. You don't owe an explanation to anybody. I love your work.
Thanks so much for the kind words and support!
