Since i have very limited mobility hubby thought a mobility scooter was a good idea - one was bought . I first tried it our by going with hubby on the dog walk. Hubby got to pick up the dog poo. Since nothing went wrong - I passed and can go out with out him.
Darling daughter decided to take me to the market. First problem - son has lost the main key to my car - we cant get into the boot.
Never mind DD has a people carrier, plenty room for me and the scooter. LOL
Next problem, I cant get into the car - its to high. Never mind hubby has bought a step so I can, at some point , get into his 4X4. Step is to high - I had to grab my jeans and man handle my right leg onto the step.
Ok now using the door and sill I’m able to get the left leg onto the step and get into the car - the door flew all the way open and I cant reach it . By this time DD is having a fit - no she is’nt worried about her poor old mum, DD thinks this is the most fun she has had all week. I am not amused - I should get a medal for all the work I put in to get into the car.
Any way at the market I just had to slide out the car and onto the scooter. Now it has rained for ages here and the car park is just pressed down earth, with loads of water filled pot holes. The scooter done its job - however even with limited feeling, I could feel my bladder bungy jumping as I bounsed from pot hole - to pot hole.
I got the last laugh though- at every stall I got served and DD got ignored, every one got out my way and let me through. Poor DD got pushed shuffed and stood on - and of course she had to carry my shopping.
Cant wait to go out with her again.

Hi Val,Thanks for answereing, I know you have hada really horrid time rescently.
Also you were really busy. Bet you were frightened when you dad kept getting lost, I think your right next time have him picked up.
Next time try just turning up and he might get into the car.
I’ve never had so many visiters, mind you they are all nurses. I’m lucky I’m getting a place at the day activities at the local hospice and the district nurse is makeing sur eI can go with out being embarresed.
lives a lot different and I’m glad of the help.
I’ve been on the American Breast cancer site and stil cant find any one with spinal compression. Pity I wanted topick their brains.
I hope you get to see your daughter again soon. Mind you ifshe livesa bit away she wont be able to turn into your mother. My DD is terriblie bossy - all for my own good.
Take care Glo
