I do think I am gonna need a wheel chair scooter or rollator soon I had gone to my new bungalow yesterday to takedelivery of my new kitchen things, it is a fairly long path from the drive to my bungalow and I had to take about 3 trips to get things from my car on the final trip after I had locked the door my feet just gave way and I fell over I then struggled to stand up again even with my walking stick 2 neighbours saw I was struggling and came to pick me up and guide me back to my car safely bringing my stick and other things I had dropped with them and putting therm back in the car At least I know that my new neighbours are really nice and helpful ---

Sorry to hear about your fall. Do you have a Physio or OT? They should be able to source a rollator for you. I have a 4 wheeled one with a seat, so I can rest when tired. The seat is also useful as a tray to carry things from room to room and there is a bag under the seat which is also useful. It is also easy to put on the back seat of a car. ---

Hi, good to hear you`ve moved in to your new gaff. I imagine you had to use a lot more energy than the usual daily stuff. it probably is what caused the fall. But how comforting to know you have helpful neighbours. I got a rollator from an OT. If you do get a wheelchair, make sure it will fit into your lovely new car. When`s the bungalow warming? We`ll all turn up with a variety of mobility aids and try each others` out…bit different to the usual bash, eh? luv Pollx
