What's your ride?

So this past Saturday while most people were out shopping for their finishing touches for their Halloween costume, I was picking out what color I wanted my rolling walker to be. Did I want blue or red? What type of hand breaks did I like the best? And most of all did I want to customize my basket and add a seat cover? I didn't realize there were so many things to take into consideration when picking out this mode of transportation.

It would have been an easy choice of color if i wasn't a giant and needed the tallest walker. For some reason the taller population does not get as many color options, and i simply don't think that is right! I wanted the sleek and chic, classic black but had to settle for "midnight blue".... sigh.  I was a very unhappy camper because i wanted to try to stand out as little as possible. This is why I opted out for the zebra print pouch and cheetah seat cover.

Since we were at the medical supply store I gave in and bought a wheel chair also. There have been several days were i can not walk from the car to my bed or crawl from the floor to my bed so having a wheel chair on hand will be helpful for my caretakers.  It will even allow me to go for a stroll outside so I can get out if my house when I am having bad spells like the last three weeks.  I would rather stand on my two feet and walk at the outdoor shopping center, but I can't be stubborn and just be grateful this will give me the opportunity to escape the four walls I look at every day.

The last purchase I made I am actually kinda excited about. It is an aerobic pedal exerciser for your legs and arms.  It is a small gadget that doesn't take up much room like a recumbent bike would. It also has the option to add resistance which is another great feature. This


I did all of this while wearing a foam neck collar... Boo... I am 23 going on 80 it feels like.
