Mobility

For some time now I have been using mobility scooters from shopmobility, at first I was reluctant to do so but gave in when I realised getting around the shops etc was so much easier, since the latest visit to the specialist I am of the opinion that it will be a long haul until I am better able to get about.
My decision is to look into the possibility of getting my own scooter, this would free me to go to other places which right now are denied me. The caveat being that I can collapse it and get it into the back of our car, it therefore has to be easily dismantled, the heavy bits i.e.: the batteries, rear axle and motor have to be manageable, it needs to have a reasonable range be able to travel over grass and gravel (just in case) plus have a comfortable seat.
I have discovered there are dozens of machines on the market at all sorts of prices, so far I have not found anything that matches most of my criteria, a couple of places are on the lookout for me.
I have been sort of spoiled my friend Jan who has one which pretty much ticks all my boxes, I have subsequently found this model is discontinued (bummer). Still I am in no real hurry to get one as winter is approaching and I am unsure just how much use I would get from it, however should the right one be found then its all systems go. The future is bright the future is Mobility.

A Bit of Bad News

Bad news today 10 September, been to see doctor in Oxford, the result of my last test show that the chemo only worked while I was on it, now I've stopped the effect has stopped, the doctor seems to think a new course of pills will help, WHO KNOWS?
So next week all being sorted, the hospital will deliver them to my house, after that its back to blood test and doctors visits every month.

Iced Coffee

 Today I had a big adventure, at lunchtime me were at our favourite pub for Scampi and chips good beer and a sit in the sun. Afterward a trip to Swindon Outlet Centre and there in Costa Coffee I had an iced latte, phew I mean how daring is that? It was almost a hot day so it was worth a try, and very tasty it was too. It's just one mad adventure after another.
