    Dearest Beanielou

    I wanted to say a massive thank you because on here you have told the story with much aplomb of how difficult a person with a chronic for life health condition has both in terms of self funding their own equipment and medical treatment.

    Not only that the emotional journey of loss, walking - it’s not just the physical act it’s, people perceptions and assumptions, that you are dealing with.

    Getting a scooter is a new chapter in your life, I hope that the benefits outweigh in abundance the crap bits.... more places to go and see and do, less tired as your wheels take the strain and less FALLING. Your diary I am sure will continue to document this journey, and you will be able to look back and know this sad and unsettling time was worth it

    Much love and hugs

    Ps remind us when are we singing Happy Birthday to you........

    Thanks so much Bubbles.
    I know that you ‘get’ it.
    I seem to have something in my eye
    I don’t think I have aplomb:o.
    My birthday is next Tuesday.
