Fresh Mud

After managing to not spend the money I got back after my care eligibility appeal, I saved like crazy for around 18 months to get the £25,000 necessary, that amount being what I was quoted back in April 2024. When I got in touch with Balder, they offered me an ex-demo chair of the same model with a full warranty for £16,500; I took a second to consider this, and promptly accepted the offer.

The new chair has better positioned memory foam kneepads, a padded left arm (as I lean on it a lot), and an overall comfier position.

After nearly a month of using it, the only downside was that it wouldn’t fit in between the rear seats of my car, but simply nudging the left armrest in an inch as I get in position solves the problem.
