My Open Book

Due to a rather picturesque range of neurological disorders, not to forget the increasing effects of advancing age, I have become considerably less mobile than I was in my younger days. Where I used to be able to briskly walk for hours and hours, I now move slowly at a snails pace, for no more than one hour, supporting myself with either a cane or a crutch – depending on how I happen to function that day. But I refuse to complain: there’s nothing I truly lack in my life, and diminished mobility doesn’t usually bother me.

Anyway, for the somewhat longer distances I presently employ an electrical, which definitely makes me feel like a prince or even a sultan! Relaxedly sitting in a comfortable seat, pleasantly but never arrogantly greeting the breathless passers-by, I buzz along at either walking pace or double speed. When I feel social I “walk”, when I really need to be somewhere in time I rev up the little machine.

There are lots of people much worse off than me, when it comes to physical capabilities. I can, though with difficulty, still walk – many others can’t. Especially for those the mobility scooter is a great help, enabling them to be mobile again. There are 3-wheel mobility scooters and 4-wheel mobility scooters, and if you happen to be considering buying such a machine, I would recommend the 3-wheeled variety. They are somewhat more manoeuvrable due to their smaller turning radius, which is a definite advantage in crowded or cramped spots. I also would advice you to go for batteries with a large capacity: it’s not only unpleasant but also extremely embarassing to find yourself out of power when a long way from home!

Apart from mobility scooters, there are many more contraptions and gadgets that make the life of the handicapped much more pleasant. Stairlifts, bed lifts, electric wheelchairs, walkers… they all help to make life much more pleasant for the disabled.
