    Hi Beanie :) Just catching up with you after a night away. Sorry to hear you fell but glad you're OK. I think we're all as excited as you are about your new scooter :) Your diary will soon be able all the gadding about you've been doing.

    Great that your friend will be visiting. Enjoy the chanting. I shall be hymn singing. xx

    Thank you :A xx

    Hi Beanie, glad you have come to the decision to get a scooter, I'd look on it as giving you more independence rather than less :cool:

    Hopefully you'll still be able to do enough exercise to retain mobility as well - maybe your physio can advise on that?

    Have a good rest of the weekend and chanting time. x

    Could you swim to keep the muscles and mobility whilst scootering instead of walking outside to save the falls?
