Just had to share my experiance of shopping in Sainsburys this morning on my new Mobility Scooter.
It was Fantastic!
I actally found my self browsing the isles as I sat sereenly cruising around!
People are so considerate and I maneged to not run anyone over or cause any damage!
I’m really getting to like my mob scoot and the self-conciousness is fading.
Dark glasses help greatly to hide behind.
Been more places in the last 3 weeks since I got it than I have in the last 3 years!
I know just how you feel steve,i love my scooter and just for fun i have teddys (all bees) on the basket its amazing just how many people stop to talk to me whilst im out, i know it takes longer but at least it adds to the fun.
Hi Steve, well done they are soooooooooo good arent they?
i had a w/c but avoided going out in it,it made me feel really bad,about myself…so i decided to get a scooter, so pleased i did, i feel much better using a scooter,i felt a bit silly at first,but soon got used to it, i can whizz about all over now…lol
need to get myself to benidorm now lol…my daughter said i look like madge,on mine,cos of my blonde hair…
you are best doing some research on internet,and even going to a shop that does them so try them out,i had a ‘pride go go traveller,’ but then got a Luggie, expensive but worth it,as it folds down really small…
I still very self concious even though I’ve had my scooter for over 7 years. I now need to use it every time we go out, as even using my 2 crutches I can only get a short distance before my legs give way.
But on the plus side I can now look round a large supermarket with ease.
I do hate when people stare as if I’d grown a extra head or something…
holidays.
