Hi everybody. Has anyone successfully gotten a free scooter from those places that advertise them on TV, like The Scooter Store? They say that if they approve you, and your insurance will not pay, you get it free -- Or will insurance pay even if you social worker says you don't deserve one? It's the opinion of your *doctor* that the insurance company listens to, right??

In order to do that, we need to be mobile. This is why equipment with wheels are made. Sure, there are those who need scooters in their home for sure, but they aren't the only ones who benefit from them. I had the same problem when I wanted a wheelchair. She told me since I can get around my house without it that I didn't need it. But I asked her if I was supposed to be house bound for the rest of my life or if I were supposed to try and have some quality to my life and go to a shopping mall, amusement park or county fair, etc. Sure, we all have our limitations, but don't let anyone discount what you can do and try not to let them stop you from doing it if you can help it. OK, I've vented also. I'll get off my soapbox now!
