Grrr Always waiting on rides.When 👶🏼sitting, kiddo exceeds speed limits in a.m. & I'm tossed around; wear neck brace when riding. I 🙏🏽every ride no harm comes to my Grands (even though Bebe boys). I'm TOTALLY afraid to ride. Nothing I say slows her. I've become afraid of riding w/anyone due to meds & her crazy driving. I tell her get up a lil earlier, to no avail. I need a seated e-scooter🛵 or e-🚲 to get there & essentials (have GoFundMe ☹️) or truck registered, inspected, tagged; $ limited.🙏🏽for me
@Gramdma2011 I have a similar issue. It's why I take the bus whenever possible.
@TrueBloodNet Me as well; walk when able up street for meds, etc. I'm on the bus line, but get confused with the many transfers & waits (my meds cause many cog probs, but needed for pain). Hubs has to ride w/me as helper. Balance issues & take rollator to sit; bus stops no seats. ie Drs appts require 3 buses to, 3 from. Long waits in between w/no where to sit & rest, except downtown. Ubers, too much. Rides, always on their time. I wish we had trains like in NY here, but city won't approve.
@TrueBloodNet Driving, I get lost. Hard to get in lifted truck. 🚎, meh. Scooter forces concentration as you're very close to ground & can see all & into wind directly (for me best transportation option) Can move head, see better w/mirrors than driving. I 💯 rely on Hubs to tell me to back up, merge, turn, park; neck issues since back surg, then heavy tree limb popped me upside head in yard😁; ugh; more dangerous if HE misses what I can't turn to see. Lots don't get medical care because, rides 💔
@Gramdma2011 I hear ya. That's why I stopped going to the VA. :/
Stay safe!
