Well done you! A great story which many of us can relate to!
Pride comes before the fall.. ?lol.
Thanks for your wonderfully uplifting story.
Keep on rollin'!
@lizzier- When my sister was ill she had a Rollator. Before that, she had an electric wheelchair. I have no idea how she afforded it but she used to buzz around like there was no one else in the world. It must have felt like a Thunderbird to her. I thought that she would kill herself with all the chances she took, but the thing only went about 3 miles an hour. She might have imagined her life is full of excitement and adventures, like Walter Mitty, if for only a short time. I think that it gave her much pleasure.

I forgot to say that I’m new to this site. A couple of years ago I was on the PMR site and I enjoyed meeting the folks there, but we are trying to “age in place” because we like our home and our independence. So this feels like the place I fit right now. My husband will be relinquishing his drivers lic soon so that will be a new task for me. He still does grocery shopping, gies to his poker game and plays cribbage, so se will set up Uber or look for other transportation and order our groceries. I’ll do some support but I’ll need to find community services
