Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / August 2006I'm Scooter trash!!!
I got myself a pretty blue 4 wheel travel scooter (slightly used)! I even took it "4 wheeling" across my large lawn. Haven't had this much fun in a while.

Maybe even some of that neon stuff they have under cars. Hmmmm. Plantmistress/Shannon You go girl !!!!!!!! debbie m. > I got myself a pretty blue 4 wheel travel scooter (slightly used)!

I have to use my incomplete, divide attention here! You have to be Canadian to understand the beaver tail! <g> Regards Lee I have to make a new flag for mine - I hate advertising Medi-Chair like all the other seniors in my area. I did go in today and tell them I needed a cup holder - they are going to make me one from pvc piping as soon as I decide the size. I have a red fortress - love it - big basket to put groceries. unfortunately I can't swivel it due to the docking arm for the lift. Took a bit to perfect the lift but I think I have it now - of course the van took a couple of scrapes on the inside. At least the van is broken in now (scratches before 2 months old are not impressing my husband although he expected it). Must admit I don't know how I managed to function without my scooter. The neurological problems on my right side and the RA tipped the scale. My mobility is much improved now. Go for it Kate and Lee - enjoy. My ex-boss (sign shop) wants to put digital decals all over the scooter. Just not quite ready for that yet but might think about it along the way. Kelly who does understand the beaver tail (canadian through and through) > Go for it Kate and Lee - enjoy. My ex-boss (sign shop) wants to put digital > decals all over the scooter.

And of course, to confuse the southerners, beaver tail can have multiple meanings as well! Have you ever had the baked kind with your morning coffee? Really popular in Ottawa/Hull and making inroads here in downtown Toronto. BTW, I haven't been to the Ex for a number of years because of my disabilities, but I live near two GO Train Stations. They are small and not yet converted with ramps, but I can get on one, and get on the downtown train without any stairs ( I can walk limited distances but I don't do stairs), go to the Ex (fully accessable) come back and get off at the station just past me and get off with no steps. The Boy Scouts of Canada have for years offered free pushing around of disabled people in wheelchairs at the Ex, but now they have scooter rentals for $30. for the day. I booked a scooter for the 31st and am going down to raise hell. I'm planing going through the Horse Palace with it so I hope they don't mind any dobbin's bobbins that may stick to the wheels! <g> Can't wait to get my own machine as about two thirds of the TTC buses are scooter accessable (you can drive your scooter right on the bus) so this will really let me get out. TTYL Regards Lee in Toronto I haven't tried buses simply because they don't go by my house except 6:00 in the morning and 6:00 at night. With the lift in the van though since I can drive part of the day the scooter is well used. I can unload it and put the last parts together on it within 5 minutes. The hardest part of a scooter is anticipating problems. I have gone on paths and found they end in a non handicap position (ie no graduated slope) and had to turn around, have discovered overgrown shrubs and had to turn around. Today I had to park on the street, unloaded okay and then discovered that in order to get onto the sidewalk I had to go quite a distance on the road. Was a little uncomfortable with that. Parking lots are better but some are only for the mall and are monitored. Some stores I park my scooter and use my cane. Also have to think whether a handicap door opens out or in and what side opens. Use my cane regularly to hit a button to open the door so I don't lose my scooter direction. Have a great time at the exhibition. i will be demonstrating quilting at ours the long weekend and will use my scooter to comfortably travel around the fair. Thank goodness for that word comfortable.
