The Retirement Thread

[oldwheels]

We've had a disappointing day today, over the last few months my Good Lady has been working very hard with the physio aiming for three targets, using a walking frame to get from the bed to the settee, she's got that one sorted, getting on and off the commode without assistance, she's had some success with that one, and getting into the car from her wheelchair and back into her chair again, after another failed attempt to do this today the physio has told her that its unlikely she'll ever be able to do this, both of us are hugely disappointed with this, it looks like we're going to have a rethink on where we go from here.

I have unfortunately got some experience in this field. The height of the car seat can be an important factor. Low seats as in many modern cars are a problem but we managed better with a higher car such as a Fiat Panda and a Peugeot Partner. You can also get swivelling seats which could be the answer. It was much easier for my wife to get into our motorhome with me giving protection from behind to prevent falling than it was getting into a car. There are all sorts of adaptions possible but I am not an expert.

My twin grandsons have compromised systems as well but they have not heard anything about a 4th jab.

Will send you a PM Welshie to avoid clogging up the forum.

Its one of the things we're looking at, we need to get her mobility assessed first.

Hope it gets sorted quickly for you both

Morning all...Infrequent poster here , most of my internet time has been taken up researching piano keyboards. Thinking of treating myself to one for Christmas. Now I've got to back peddle 40 odd pages to catch up with all your goings on!

Enjoy your day folks!

Mr WD came in sweating. He was getting some wood for The fire when he saw a large brown thing in the middle of the field. His first thought was it's a rat. He went racing (well maybe not exactly racing) up the field and started stomping on said rat only to realise it was a large leaf.

I am thinking of trading him in for a newer model as this one seems to have developed a serious and unrepairable fault.

So would I. He is now backpeddling and saying it flew out from under his lawn mower and startled him so he stomped on it thinkng it was a rat. Yeah. Right.
