I am just wondering if there is anyone else like me, who has chosen a name for their walking stick (or scooter)? My own stick goes by the name of ‘Malcolm’ and I know that it isn’t just me being a loon, as my friend that also uses a stick has called hers ‘Sticky’. Go on, admit it!
My rollators called Malky. I was visiting my sister who lives in the states. We were out for lunch an she told me to “park malky over there” We both burst out laughing and malkys been named ever since…
My wheelchair is indie (short for independence) named by Shazzie I think, if my memory serves me right. Which it often doesn’t! So apologies if it was someone else!
My scooter is Legs 11.
I haven’t got a name for my stick perhaps because it’s ever present and therefore some how less welcome than the other two. Which sounds a bit the wrong way round I know.
Makes perfect sense shuffler. Im the same with my rollator, but that day my sis named him. I honestly feel happier using him now he’s been named. That sounds a bit stupid don’t it? but i kinda, don’t resent him quite as much, I suppose is what I’m tryna say
Hello Libertine, Tina, Blossom, Sarah, Neil & Shuffler,
Thanks to everyone for getting back to me. I love all of the names but perhaps especially Neil’s name of ‘orms’ as I am a fellow Villa fan (‘victim’ more like). I bought my stick when I was in Scotland to climb Ben Nevis (pre MS of course) so I gave him a Scottish name.
Thanks to everyone for making me feel a tad more normal!
Hiya guys, thanks for the invite. This is first time here. I’ve got names for my crouch’s to. My loyal friends are called trigger and Oscar. Never go far without them. Great pals.
Hiya Guys, thanks for the invite. Very new to this venue. And yes, I have names for my trusty crouch’s. They are called Trigger and Oscar. They are never far from me. And sometimes they throw me aside, but I do make it back up. I think there having a laugh. Enjoy everyone and be safe.
