Successfully Adulted

I have, after 9 months, managed to send off a request to Wheelchair Services saying assess me, dammit!

It took so long my GP, who told me to send it, retired between the first draft of the letter and the final one. Fortunately the new one agreed too.

Now I just have to wait and see if they turn me down flat like they did the first two times. Though I think 'your wheelchair* is so utterly inappropriate it's making my disability worse' probably ensures they'll have to do something.

*Yes, they refused me an assessment, but dumped the cheapest of cheap wheelchairs on my doorstep.
 

Pissed Off at eBay

So last night I found out that there had been a breakdown in communication and the wheelchair vendor had in fact paid for return postage a week ago.

But that just showed up another issue, eBay expect me to take it to the Post Office.

It's a wheelchair, it's large, it's bulky, once it's wrapped it won't even roll.

I'm a wheelchair user.

How do they expect me to get it there? Balanced on my head?

Grr!

I was particularly unhappy with the eBay phone operator's ''But who looks after you? Who gets your groceries?' Seriously?

Equally unimpressed by 'Put me through to your complaints department." "We don't have one" (Yet then gave me an address at the end of the conversation).

*grumble* *mutters darkly*
