My Power Wheelchair Tire
[ Wednesday November 11th 2026 at 11:19 am ]
My power wheelchair has been repaired. The technician from Motion Kingston found just the tiniest hole in my inner tube. He couldn't find a sharp item in the tread. Presumably I ran over something and it fell back out. Since he couldn't find a sharp item in the tread he checked my tire pressure. So far it is holding air.
When he is back at the shop he will check if foam filled tires are in stock. I did ask about these when I called to arrange the repair. The staff told me they just keep the inner tubes in stock. If he doesn't find any I will deal with this when I am back home again through their branch in Belleville. I am going to be using my power wheelchair for mobility to the warm water therapy pool in Belleville. I can't risk a flat tire during the winter months.
What really made me grateful was the technician offering to bring the manual wheelchair the hotel loaned me back to their reception area. He simply wanted to take are of me. I am really grateful. I really appreciate it when someone takes care of the equipment I use to manage my physical disability.
