I can't get the chair until next week because they won't hand over until I arrange some third party, fire and theft insurance with breakdown cover. Then it's mine and (I hope) my life will open up a bit.
Ilook forward to going places on my own instead of being taken everywhere. It's not good for you, you know, being taken places. Everything has to be arranged and then you feel sort of obliged to go wherever your 'minder' needs to go. I suppose I ought not to say that, and truly I am grateful when people help me, it's just nice to be in control of something for a change.
Afterwards Keith and I went out for lunch, which we've been trying to fit in since we didn't go on his birthday on 26th October. It was well worth waiting for except that there's nowhere to park and it's on a busy road in town, so we left the car at home. Brrr - I'm sure it's cold enough for snow. A wheelchair is certainly a draughty place at this time of year. I'm not complaining mind you! Well, would I?

happy to hear you'll be able to get out & about by yourself, go where you want, when you want!!!
wow, i'd love that, so sick of having to arrange times with son or grandson to get out. it's based around their schedules.
good luck,

Well done, Angie! You won't know yourself when you can get out and about on your own. I know you appreciate your helpers but as you say, to be able to go off on your own will be fantastic for you.
My camera is a Panasonic DMC-FZ28 10 mega-pixel with 18x zoom. Angus bought it for me last Christmas and it is fantastic. It has Intelligent Auto focus - point and shoot for dummies! Basically if you hold the camera still you can't go wrong - yay! It has lots of other settings on it but I really do prefer straight out of the camera shooting.
Bet ya can't wait until next week to pick up your 'freedom machine!
Cheers - Joolz
Yea Angie!!! Good going, my friend.
Independence is yours...
Don't be doing any wheelies....!!!!
I'm glad that you had a good day today. I send you another smile.
Always,
Jackie
YAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY!!!!!
We're cheering long and loud for you Angie!!! Now, if Keith turns into Victor Meldrew after his retirement (p.s. happy retirement Keith!!!), you will be able to escape! And maybe even slam a door or two as you flounce out in style!
You'll be the classiest thing on four wheels; make sure you share some pix!
We love you LOTS.
