It was a tough choice but, I had to do it. I just had to get out in the elements. My nephew wanted a boat ride with his daddy and called us. So Miss T, nephew, my bro and I piled in on my parents boat and took off to the south end of the Island.
Tom left Friday at midnight to join a group going by bus to DC to the 9/12 Taxpayer Rally. He had a great time, although it was a very long day. I sent him with a camera but he only took about 6 pics. Geeesh.....He got home last night about midnight, worn out. He said "we need to look into getting that chair" referring to the Scooter chair advertised. Poor guy, his legs cannot handle even a normal day. Even after the knee replacement surgery....you'd think that would have helped more.
Trouble is Medicare doesn't pay for the chair until you need it......that means you have to have troubles with your arms too. Funny, those people on the commercial don't seem to have arm trouble. I have a friend whose Mom had the chair....last I heard she wanted to sell it since her Mom passed away. $300, not a bad price. Maybe I'll see if she still has it.
It's another beautiful day here....guess I'll see if I can enjoy it too!!

Its up to the doctor to order the chair , they rather see you moving in pain then riding, from what my doc told me is that if i got one i would rely on it to much.
Glad you got out in the boat, the need for speed :o)
A day out on a boat sounds wonderful. Kevin and I were just talking about how much we miss our boat.
Have a good week.
Hello, I am glad you enjoyed your Saturday I did as well. I hope you have a nice week ahead. Do take care.
