I think whoever invented the mobility scooter deserves a medal. When
you think of how many people young and old that it's freed up from being
constantly having to rely on others to get around, to being able to do
so much again for oneself.
Maybe I"m not desperately disabled to the extent
that I need one for short distance walking as many people do, but really more need it for personal
transport to go further than walking can take me.
Charlie came in for tea yesterday and he had my scooter in his van. He
had picked it up from the societies store room and was taking it home
to check it out, polish it up etc. He tells me and it's in better condition that he first
thought. I went out to have a look see. It's
an old one, a gorgeous blue metallic, but in good nick. I'm sure he
will do a wonderful job on it. I'm so hoping it will turn out good
enough to last me a good while. The longer it lasts me the more time I
will have to save up for a top of the range one.
I'm now very much looking forward to having a play on it. He has told
me I mustn't worry about breaking down or running out of battery as he
will be my road side and recovery service, lol.
I rang
the office today to try to get a space in one of the cycle sheds
for my trike as at the moment it is in one of the electric scooter sheds. As the scooter will need to be in the electric sheds, and
as we are only allowed one space I need to find alternative storage for
the trike.
Unfortunately there are no spaces in the bike sheds at present, but was
told that they are
sorting out a new way of storing cycles as so many people want them now
and can I get back to them in about a month. In the meantime I'm going
to have to put my trike under my window with a cover over it. Bummer!
But
will probably be selling it anyway if the scooter works out.
