The benefits people agreed to do us a loan so that we could get me a mobility scooter. Today we went over to the place that we hire 1 from in august as we had spoken the man a few weeks ago and he said once we had the money he would have a scooter or find me a suitable one as soon as he could.
The one we have bought is not the one I borrowed in august but one a simialr size, the difference is this 1 is a 2014 model and not a 2015 model, but this did mean the cost was much less.
It is blue and a gogo elite traveller model. I'm hoping that I dont have to use it very much but at least I now have one if we want to go out as a family for a day etc. It fits in the boot and we will be able to pack around it - yes it may mean we have to buy some smaller hold-alls rather than big suitcases but we can work round it.
At present it is sat in the middle of my kitchen whilst we work out where it is going to be kept.

August 26th 2015 - Wheels!
August 26th 2015 - Wheels!
Today we went to collect my wheels from the mobility scooter hire place on route down south. We found a company in Keswick, just under an hour from us and on route, they hired it to us for a week at a very good price.
I don't want to be on a mobility scooter at my age BUT if its the only way I can go out to places and have trips as a family then I will do, as I am still unable to walk very far.
The scooter was a small grey 4 wheel version (similar to pin but different make). The man explained all buttons and how to take to bits/put back together and off we went back to the car. We had to empty out all the bags and things in the middle of the car park, take the scooter to bits and put in first and then pack everything around it. We had to remove the parcel shelf as the boot was slightly too full for it, but we got everything in!!!
This was to be my transport along with my crutches for Thomas land at Drayton Manor at the weekend. My boys are not bothered about me being on it and have said the same if its the only way we can go out then it is.
