    Well after waiting a long six weeks and wondering everyday during that time was I going to get my new electric scooter and yes it finally arrived to one very happy orangefatcat.

    It is a beautiful scooter full equipped and its fire engine red.

    I took it out the other day and for the first time in years I was able to go around a beautiful park, talking to my neighbours, children, skaters, skateboards, families with their little ones and squirrels and birds and people greeting me and chating and some have puppies who try to get on board, well it was all so envigorating. I just had a wonderful time enjoying all these things and my husband Marco walking beside me. I was in 7th heaven. The new found freedom is glorious.

    It has openned a new world for me. And today my social worker came over and told me that soon we will have a new apartment equpped for my needs. So good things are a happening in my life.

    And its spring time and the flowers are coming up and robins are here flying all around and the squirrels and the chippies are all over the place. Yes everything is looking good.

    Love Orangefatcat

    That's great, OFC. I wouldn't mind a scooter like that too. I have to deteriorate a little bit more. Don't get a ticket.

    Good for you! There is nothing worse than feeling isolated and "stuck in the house"....

    Life is too short to not enjoy the blooming flowers

    Can we call you "Scooter Girl" now? (Like on American Idol...the girl with the little scooter).

    I am happy for you OFC!! I hope you buzz around on that scooter like a mad kitty and enjoy all the things you haven't been able to!

    OMG I am so pleased for you. Your attitude is like mine - the scooter is a way to freedom and independance. I can't wait to get mine but it probably won't come until the summer.

    ZOOOOOOMMMMMMMM on girl.

    Nosy me wants to know what model it is and who makes it lol

    Mine is a donation from a friend's father who doesn't need it anymore so I have to be patient. Right now getting ready to go out with the manual wheelchair to do some shopping - slower but better than nothing.

    Blondie - if you can afford it there is a compact model called the GO-GO by Pride Mobility - costs about $1500 CDN so less in the US. It comes apart to stow easily in the trunk of the car
