KEEPING MOBILE.


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

  4. He 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?

  10. What 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

    1. The 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

  16. That 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?

    1. We do have names for the stair lifts, they are Chas and Dave, lol.
      Will 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.

    2. How about Moby? As in Moby Dick...or mobility scooter.

  17. Oh, that's a good idea -- especially if it actually helps you to get out and walk more than you might otherwise!
