Saffy Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 My Mum, who is 86, is far too proud touse her mobility scooter. So, after having had a back operation in February, my brother suggested I borrow it. Whilst in the Hospital, because I use crutches all the time, the physio tried me with a self propelled wheelchair ... it was amazing! I was able to get from one end of the corridor to the other without stopping because of pain. The mobility scooter .. TOOTLE 2 is fantastic, and has allowed me so much independence and fresh air. I get to chat to the ducks in the park, sop and smell the hawthorn flowers growing in the hedgerows and talk to people. SO much fun! What miffs me is the people who park on the pavements without leaving room for pedestrians let alone mobility scooters to get past. MObility users ... what are your pros and cons?
