There are no loosers here we are all in this together ....there are times I cannot walk far ...I use my cane daily and do not care what others thing i need it for balance and if I am going far walking them ill use my walker and YES I will be getting my scooter soon Ill be darn if I am going to miss out on things with my hubby ...!!!! ride on is what I say!!!!

You are certainly NOT a loser, my dear. If a mobility scooter would help improve your life, than go for it. I too am beginning to think I may need something like that in the near future. I'm having to walk with a cane part of the time. I can't shop in a store unless they have those scooters available. I just can't walk around that much without bringing on a flare.

You are not a looser. Just decide what you need to do to make your life better and do it. I was looking at the scooters at Wal-Mart and so far I can hold onto a buggy and manage. I think next time l will have to use a scooter.l am not ever giving up and don't you.

I feel the same, I am really beating myself up about having to get a scooter. I am trying to kid myself that next time I go out I will be ok and will be able to walk without pain and have a nice day out, in reality I get to shops or outing and I am on way home within half an hour. I have got as far as getting a scooter brochure to look at. I still can't push myself , I know if I don't I will lose confidence and won't go out at all. My family aren't helping me by saying once I get a scooter I will never walk, this really annoys me as I can't walk now! I need to think about me and stop worrying about what my family think of me and how embarrassed they might be...

Yeah that's the thing I do actually need it... And I really miss going out with my OH and the dogs... I know he misses it too... Yeah I'm just gonna bite the bullet and buy one... Thanks ladies you've made me feel better about it xxx
