Ride not Walk

Is there a time to steal your sister's advertising mail, and buy the mom a Scooter chair? It was just, too appealing, and the mom wasn't walking all that well after three rounds of physical therapy. She was severely limited in the range of the small, city backyard she could manipulate the four-wheeled rolling walker with the handbrakes. Why there's more space out there. Let's call them!

I did, the process was detailed, but easy. Have the insurance information, and all health care prior year of annual cost handy. And the process moved along - so to speak.

Amazingly, it arrived within days. A padded chair with a joy stick. Man, is it fast if you know how to drive with a joy stick! Or slow,as the mom had the technician work the variables. Armrest comfort, take-off, turning radious to adjust the speed in addition to the hands-on dial control, and driving/riding/handling around curves of this 13 mile distance riding machine. It's not a motor cycle, min you. And I would need a lift on the car (it's 180 lbs) to take her, and the chair anywhere really important. Yet, meantime - steal the mail and dial the 800 number. And wonder if they are licensing golf carts for in-town use, maybe this is next. If I can get her to use it! Know this, on month 14, she owns it. And every 5 years, she can get brand new one! Yah!
