Has anyone got any advice for a new wheelchair user? I'm especially worried about curbs I really haven't figured that out yet. Also getting on a bus. I won't need it all the time but on bad days (like today) I will have to use it. Haven't got a properly fitted one on the NHS will be 2-4 weeks so my doctor referred me to the Red Cross for a temporary one so I can get out and about even on a bad day so have that for now.
