It finally fracking came!

My wheelchair came today! Now I'll be to get around to get to the store, doctors and such.

Still can't believe what kind of hassle it has been. But it's here.

Just thought to let those wondering how the FedEx saga was going. It has ended with a happy ending.....it the next time 🤬.

And since I'm also the family driver, it had to be light enough for me or my health compromised spouse to load in the hatchback before I slowly shuffle back to the driver's seat.

A walker can get me around the house and down the five shallow steps to the carport, but anything further away than about 25 yards requires the Wheelie.

Mobility is never over-rated.

Have fun, and watch the downhill speeds.

Am vaccinated up the yen yuan. Flu, pneumonia, Covid, tetanus, etc. Finally was put on medication for my MS, it's called Gilenya. And now wheels.


Watch out 4th Avenue and Joel D. Valdez Main Library here I come!

Now he enjoys getting out much more. He is my "Bag holder" when we go shopping now 😁
The new chairs are nice and lightweight, easy to pop into the car.
Happy trails to you! Stay safe 😊
