Three steps forward two steps back.

When that refers to one’s state of mobility, it is not very helpful in planning, or comforting.

That sounds about right!

My bout of UTI appears to have had a detrimental effect on my walking ability, or, perhaps recovery has forgottern about the legs.

Whatever the reason, medical appointments have to be kept and social contact needs to be maintained. In order to obtain these objectives, disability cabs are being used.

In my case, a powechair.

This appears to be my method of down town transport into the future. A combination of powerchair and taxi that suits.

This new transportation method has a number of advantages. Firstly: it relieves my wife (Marilyn) from having to lift and manoeuvre my rolator. Secondly: it allows me to have the freedom to move within the building, upon arrival. Previously, I would be slightly exhausted at my appointment.

Relaxed, energy for conversation.

All in all, this should allow me more energy for gardening and workshop hobbies.

Until next week my friends.

Best wishes,

Ken.

Age 79 years, married 48 years, wife Marilyn, who, is now my carer as well. My means of getting around is a power-chair. Consequently, all of the tools that I require for most DIY tasks are maintained at chair level. Multiple Sclerosis is the cause of my challenges, and has proven to be a demanding taskmaster.
