With the lung condition that Tom has he is now unable to walk a lot further than 100 yards without getting puffed.
I have a back and hips that sing to me if I walk any distance and so even though we have the car we are limited to how far we can get on foot.
We decided to invest in a small mobility scooter so that we can get more walking in.
One rides while the other walks and then we swop over, this way we can get a long way and both get exercise.
Here's my man , look no feet, lol
Lovely photo. Good for you, helps you get around.
ReplyDeleteGood idea! He looks happy.
ReplyDeleteWell done both of you!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea.A win win situation.
ReplyDeleteWho gets more miles to the gallon? ;)
ReplyDeleteHe looks so happy with it!! The switching back and forth is a great idea!! We have a small transport chair that Phil wheels me in. I would love a scooter like this, but am afraid it would be too heavy for Phil to lift in and out of the car. That is the only reason we don't have one. Do you lift this? Do you think it would be an option for me?
ReplyDeleteBrilliant idea, win win, enjoy your walks xcx
ReplyDeletewhat a great idea... next post I want to see NO HANDS... ha ha
ReplyDeleteGreat picture, and good idea too😃
ReplyDeleteFab idea.....Tom looks like he's really enjoying himself - like a big kid with a new toy!
ReplyDeleteTom looks very jaunty taking his 'turn!'
ReplyDeleteWhat a great photo! And a wonderful idea to take turns. I often think if I could sit down for a bit halfway through my walk and get up refreshed I could go further - lol
ReplyDeleteI know that bit that leads to the seafront there!.Great photo and doesnt it make a difference to your life when you have a scooter! We hire one every time we come there cause my Hubby cant walk far either.Its lovely to be able to go all along the sea front to Hove.Love the look on Toms face!xx
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea. Tom looks like mean really enjoying his turn.
ReplyDeleteA win/win situation. Lovely photo.
ReplyDeleteTom has quite the sense of humor, nice photo!
ReplyDeleteHe can wizz along the seafront in that; max speed 70 mph.
ReplyDeleteThe years we have been walking the Brighton and Hove seafronts I never in a million years thought we would be doing it in a mobility scooter, lol
DeleteThat mobility scooter needs a name. Also - what I would like to know - is why they don't have mobility scooter racing in the Special Olympics?
ReplyDeleteWe do have names for the stair lifts, they are Chas and Dave, lol.
DeleteWill have to think of one for the scooter.
With Bo in the basket they look like Dick Dastardly and Muttley, lol.
Seriously though, it has made such a difference.
How about Moby? As in Moby Dick...or mobility scooter.
DeleteOh, that's a good idea -- especially if it actually helps you to get out and walk more than you might otherwise!
ReplyDeleteAnything to get you both mobile is a good thing! x
