I would have thought this was stuff the voc. rehab. people were suppose to do.
Do they really have jobs? Is voc. rehab. some kind of welfare system for inept
people with degrees in social work?

HEY GANG
AS MANY OF YOU KNOW I BOUGHT A MINI VAN LAST YEAR SO I COULD GET IT MODIFIED TO
DRIVE. I WENT THRU VOC REHAB WHICH HAS BEEN BEEN VERY HELPFUL (WHEELCHAIR
AGREE W/ YOU ABOUT DOING THE LEGWORK) .
I TOOK MY VAN TO THE DEALER ON MAY 7 AND WAS TOLD 4/6 WEEKS. MONDAY WILL BE 12
WEEKS.
MY VAN ALREADY HAD AN IMS CONVERSION. SO WHAT HAPPENED WAS IT SAT AT THE DEALER
FOR A WEEK BEFORE IT WAS SENT TO HOUSTON. WAS TOLD BY PEOPLE IN HOUSTON IT WAS
BEING TEST DRIVEN AND WOULD BE DELIVERED TO DEALER WEEK OF JULY 2. THEN WAS
TOLD BY DEALER DUE TO FLOODING HOUSTON WAS HAVING TROUBLE GETTING IT OUT. I
TALKED TO HOUSTON AND WAS TOLD MY VAN WAS READY JULY 2 BUT NEW EQUIPMENT CAME
OUT SO THEY CHOSE TO UPGRADE IT ALL TO THE LATEST AND GREATEST. SOUNDS LIKE A
LINE OF B.S. HUH? SO, VAN WAS SUPPOSE TO BE AT DEALER JULY 20. IT WAS STILL IN
HOUSTON MONDAY AT 1PM SO MY APPT TO HAVE LOCKS INSTALLED TUESDAY - CANCELLED.
THEY GOT VAN TUESDAY SO I GET UP AT 4:30 TO BE AT DEALER 75 MILES AWAY AT 8AM.
I GOT THERE, GOT OUT OF CHAIR, WAITED 1 1/2 HRS TO BE TOLD TEY DIDN'T HAVE
CORRECT EZ LOCKS. ALSO, MY DOOR WON'T OPEN AUTOMATICALLY AND VAN ISN'T
KNEELING- ARRIVED FROM HOUSTON THAT WAY. THEY HAD NEW MODULE AND SAID THEY
WOULD FIX IT THURSDAY. THEY REORDERED, GOT
UP AT 5:30 TO BE THER BY 10AM YESTYERDAY. LOCKS CAME IN WHICH WAS A PLUS - GOT
THAT INSTALLED. SR TECH TELLS ME IT'S NOT THE MODULE BUT A WIRE/WIRES WERE CUT
IN HOUSTON. HE'S GOING TO TROUBLESHOOT AND OTHER TECH IS GOING INSTALL EZ LOCKS
IN VAN. MY DAD AND I ARE LEAVING THE SERVICE AREA AND HE SAYS "THERE'S YOUR
DRIVER SEAT - WONDER WHERE THE PASSENGER SEAT IS". YES, YOU GUESSED IT, NO
FREAKING SEAT! NO ONE KNOWS WHERE IT IS - WE ASSUME HOUSTON. WE GET BACK TO
MOBILITY OFFICE AND A MAN PULLS UP IN A LEXUS AND WANTS HAND CONTROLS. I GO UP
TO SERVICE TO SEE HOW THINGS ARE GOING AND THEY PULLED TECH OFF MY VAN TO
INSTALL HAND CONTROLS ON THE LEXUS THAT WAS BOUGHT IN TULSA THAT MORNING! NO
APPT - JUST HAD THE $$ SO THE SR TECH HAS TO QUIT TRYING TO GET MY DOOR TO WORK
AND INSTALL MY EZ LOCKS. I WAS THERE OVER 7 HRS.
I'M "SUPPOSE" TO GET MY VAN TUESDAY - YEAH RIGHT! DOOR ISN'T WORKING AND WITH
NO PASSENGER SEAT BECAUSE THEY ASSUME IT'S IN HOUSTON! OH, AND SR TECH IS ON
VACATION NEXT WEEK.
WHEELCHAIR, WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT CARLOS/IDS/FREEDOM WHEELS IN HOUSTON?
ANY ADVICE FOLKS BUT RIGHT NOW I WANT TO CHOKE SOMEONE!
