    Hi Elaine

    Forgive me if someone else has aanswerd this for you.

    Well I would have a chat with Bubbles. She now uses the shops electric scooter.

    If you read some of her threads she was so against using a wheelchair or anything else.

    We had a chat about this and she then told me she went shopping to Tesco's and decided to try a scooter and see how she felt.

    She came back from shopping so delighted with herself she had got all the way around in there and said how much she enjoyed it.

    Since then she always looks forward to go there and go around in the scooter. She told me hubby was miles behind her huffing and puffing.

    The point of this was just to try it. Now you cannot keep her off them.

    She is going to get a small one to go in their car now. She had gone out shopping and was not in pain.

    Just try it I think it would give a new lease of life.

    I have an outdoor electric chair and when I'm well enough to go out in the summer I can go up this steep hill while hubby is still trying to catch up with me.

    I'm sure if you try it you will not look back. Give it a go, if it stops the pain then it is well worth it.

    Bubbles could not believe the difference it made to her life.

    I said no wheelchair at first but I had to in the end and it gives me some quality of lefe. I can go off and look at something on my own.

    I hope this is helpful to you

    Hi Trish,
    I think we all felt like this.....I really fought with myself as well before getting/hiring one.
    Poor hubby......same as yours LOL....The amount of times we have gone to a different town {maybe on holiday} and i'm sailing around on my scooter and then he says.....I'm tired....lets have coffee :lol:
    Nothing wrong with him at all and that used to be my line....lets stop and have coffee

    Love
    Hileena

    Hi Trisher

    Thanks for the message....I still am of the gut feeling that i should try and walk, i mean i can walk, not for long at all but i can....I suppose i dont want to take it off someone else who is more needy than myself...
    I think until the day when any walking at all becomes painful for me and i cannot make it out of the door i will refrain from using scooter....

    Im too honest

    im like this with a cruch. i try not to use it as i go to shop door use trolly for support even to fetch a loaf!! then out car and home but if i went further id need that support. and i see this as me giving in!!but some times you need something to help you go that little further. :?
    i find myself having little debates over it all the time, and questioning what other peple think, why should we do this? its us with the pain and have stiffness not them i dont think a lot of people apreciate how stiffness effects us . please think of your self and how you feel and if it helps go for it :wink:
