What Preps are you doing this week? Part 10

[GeeGee]

Moved the entire log store to other side of garden as some damp was getting in ..we've had 3 days of snow black ice and freezing conditions and now thick icy fog ..a friend's wife calls it wet Yorkshire here
Ordered my repeat prescription like Kwififer i have been through all those apps and am on 2 lots of BP tablets for life
Had a problem as over phone they took weight age etc told me to go in immediately middle aged woman ..app a stone and half overweight for age according to BMI
I went straight from weight lifting and a swim im size 10 and fairly fit ..so I had to laugh when doc came into waiting room and left again as I was the only one in ..its probably hereditary but its sorted and I order a week in advance so I have a few in front ..and I think the BMI chart needs addressing !
Been practising pushing Mr GG in a wheelchair theyre harder than they look ...
Oh wow get out of the way
He was yelling kerb.. left right ..I need L plates and he needs a lie down !!!!
All preparation although I think he may take some persuading to get back in
Tried a mobility scooter for him and itll sort out any running I need to do ....thinks he's in a batmobile

I found a wheelchair difficult for a start some years back,when Jan was in one! Takes some practice,for sure. She is also talking about a mobility scooter for me too , like your hubby.

Hi mate i tried a wheelchair for some time the wife use to push me but well lets say it is not easy and trying to steer one myself i was always bumping into things ,
We both now have folding mobility scooters we went for the solax/mobi ones the wifes folds with the button my i just pull the lever and up it goes they are not light to lift but i can manage to lift in to the boot but you can get a crane fitted in the boot to lift if you need it , our 2 fit in the boot of a meriva and leave room for shopping to i just fix them in place with a bungy round thme on to the headrest .

They are not cheap new but we got 2 great deals secondhand on the bay i just cleaned them over little oil on each joint underneith , i keep mine mainly for the times when i can not walk at all it just means i can still get out and about if we go to places , the large air museum we went to it was huge so a pleasure to ride round .

On to preps for today i have been sowing seeds and getting the polytunnel ready for the plants , i use to use a heater in there but now don't worry i just make sure to place small plants and seedlings on racks off the floor and also either fleece over them or on the solid frame i put polystrene boards over to keep the frost off .

Spring will be here soon yaya

I've got an electric wheelchair but not got the nerve to use it outside. I can do a brilliant 3 point turn in the hall though

[GeeGee]

Have to laugh us preppers with the walking aids wheelchairs and bundles of medication ..
No wonder we are all bugging in ..probably couldn't make it out
Mr GG says the mobility scooter is best as my driving is terrible
Diamond Lil get yourself out in it ...saw one old chap in one on the bypass the other day ..he caused chaos !

Hey lil i was the same with my first mobility scooter until one day i was so unwell and wife wanted to do a asda shop back where we use to live now bare in mind everyone and his brother knew me back there so hence why i was to ashamed to use it but i was early 30's and well like i say i was ashamed until after the first go lol omg i was sayingthose old 8uggers have been having us over for year on these scooters why did i not get one earlier lol , once you take the plunge you will never look back .
I have got loads of people in to them since one neighbour here was waiting hip replacement and could hardly walk and was doing the grankids to school i told her try this and well they went out and broughyt one the next day lol

I think that's true

I just feel that everybody would be looking at me, you know? - wondering what was wrong with my legs etc. The main prob is arthritis and ME. I get so tired I just need to sit down right now and because I can't really sit on the pavement, I stay at home and send the husband to the shop instead
