Some days I just want to be able to hop in the car and go to the mall BUT I know I can't make it by myself, I can't walk that far even with the cane, I can't lift the scooter out of the car, it's too hot...........so on and so on! And I long for those day when I could do just that.

If DH wants to go for a ride to the shore, I have to think....is it too hot? Is the scooter charged? Are there accessible bathrooms available?? Some days it is just easier to stay home!!!

I think we all have those feelings and would love to have our old lives back............but in the long run we are thankful for whatever good things we still have in our lives.

Yesterday I decide to be Ms Independence and went off to get some needed stuff at the Commissary. This was after a few hours of debating if the weather was OK, my fatigue level etc.

I get to the store......no scooters available, so I decide to get a normal cart and walk...well...kinda walk, doing my Igor impression and I find .....they have rearranged the entire store

I managed to get the bare necessities, bread, milk and
TP and I was out the door!! I need to go back with DH when a cart is available and check this out!
