It is difficult to get a welfare client’s wheelchair repaired．Once my wheelchair needed

repairing，

and I notified my caseworker. She gave me a lecture that I hadn’t taken good care of my

wheelchair.

Then she told me that I must have the patience to wait until she had the time to report

my wheelchair

conditions to my medical worker. Then the medical worker called the wheelchair repair

companies

to get the cheapest bid and informed the main welfare office at the state capital．It took

them another

several days to consider the matter. When they finally got my wheelchair repaired，I had

been confined

to bed for more than half a month．
