I have just read my last post. Alas, things didn’t work out. The mobility scooter couldn’t cope with our rough pavements and my neck and spine got jerked about so much I have to return it.

Luckily I still have a rollator which means I can walk about a mile without pain but it is very slow.

I now have a new microwave and will try not to spend any more money for a while. I went a bit over board trying to fix everything that needed fixing. There’s still stuff to do but I’m going to slow down. I think it was just a way of filling the time.

I had a shock yesterday when I was gardening. I cut my finger and realised it was down to me to do the first aid. I think a Community Alarm button might be a good idea. I didn’t faint but I was a bit wobbly for a while.

There’s a lot to learn about living on your own. Thankfully my son is coming next week so I have something to look forward to.
