I've got the lot - walking stick, wheely walker and mobility scooter.

I really don't need any of them anymore but each has its usefulness.

The stick steadies me when walking over uneven ground and paving, plus drivers stop for me at pedestrian crossings even before I step off the kerb.

The wheely walker is good when I take a train to the city. If the carriage is crowded I can sit on it and I can hang bags of shopping from the handles. It is OK on travelators but not so good on escalators. The walker folds down to fit inside the car boot.

The scooter is good for short trips, doesn't need a parking space and is fun to ride. However, it bucks like a brumby because the local footpaths were never designed for mobility scooters. It doesn't pay to speed especially when driving down a path that slopes at right angles to the direction of travel. The scooter can tip over sideways and has done so a couple of times. I know now that going flat out is only for flat, level surfaces.

I use to have a mobility scooter until I got t-boned by a mini van. I didn't get injured too bad but my scooter was destroyed :(
 
They seem to be empowering.

The other day I bought groceries and "won" a free case of bottled water. I pushed my small grocery cart outside toward the car, shrink-wrapped 24 bottles of water awkwardly under one arm.

I must have looked pretty pitiful. An older lady on a mobility scooter passed nearby asking if I needed help and wanted to load the water onto her scooter.

Nice gesture, but it sure left me feeling decrepit. If I get another free pack of water I'll probably just reload all my stuff into a full sized cart. :ROFLMAO:
