Accepting accesories

You may wonder what I do on the days that I am not at the Trappenberg. Today for instance, I had to go to Naarden to the Harting Bank. That is not a Bank but a supplier of wheelchairs, scootmobiles etc.. In Holland it is possible to apply for such things through the municipality. A specialist is then sent by to evaluate the necessity. If the necessity is clear an application can be done. In order to do the application it is necessary that one tries out the different types of appliances.
In 1987 when I left school and studied physical therapy for a year, we visited the headquarters of the Harting Bank. At the time I still thought that it would be me helping others. Now, 20 years later it is the other way round. Strange how life changes things.

I tested the scootmobile and the wheelchair. A selection has been made for me. I will shortly be seen on a little gray scootmobile and a violet colored Quickie wheelchair. I was tired when I got home.

Just to humor you I have added the Permobil advertisement.
