I’ve broken a bone in my foot and have found it a real eye opener – some obvious realisations, and some not so apparent. First of all – pain and over compensating for part of the body that doesn’t work properly is really, really tiring. Secondly having a visible injury means everyone you know stops and talks to you – which from a KM point of view, is a goldmine! Finally – mobility scooters are really dangerous. I am in the ideal house for someone who can’t walk well – a stairlift (really slow), walking sticks and 2 mobility scooters. I’ve used the scooters to get into town and you really have to think about what you are doing. Cars don’t see you and pedestrians think you are faster than you are. I can understand why elderly people get into difficulties with them. I won’t use it unless I have to.
