rollstors

[Osha]

Good morning everyone. The sun is shining in London!!! It makes such a difference. I have just bought myself a rollator. My son in law made the bag for oxygen tank from my trolly bag. Oh what a difference I can walk so much further now I would definitely recommend this. At least I’ll get a bit more exercise. Roll on summer.

Brilliant news Osha! Enjoy getting out and about and enjoy the sunshine. Xxxx❤️☀️

[Osha in reply to sassy59]

Thank you Sassy. Maybe I’ll be able to sit another lungie on the handlebars! I can just about see that we wouldn’t be able to move for laughing

[Osha in reply to Theweehighlander1]

As I’m from Scotland I know the feeling of cold!

[MoosterMoo]

It will be good to enjoy some warm sun out with your rollator. I notices it was slightly lighter when I left the house at 7am this morning too

[Osha in reply to MoosterMoo]

Thanking you moodtermoo. We’re all waiting on the sun

Hi Osha ,Iast week I was tested to see if I needed oxygen, the out come was I will be tested again in three months ,they told me that oxygen is not given to help breathing it is given to support other organs ,do you find it helps with your breathing

[Loopylorre in reply to Alice70]

Hi, I have ambulatory oxygen & I don’t find it helps with breathing, it is just to protect organs when exercising etc, hope this helps, others may find it different but that’s how it works for me 😊🌸💐🌷

[Alice70 in reply to Loopylorre]

Thanks you for reply

[Rosa17]

its great how a bit of sun lifts our spirits!! enjoy your rollator. xx

[MoyB]

What a happy post!

We've got sun here in Eastbourne today as well and I'll be off to my art group on my scooter again.

I won't get the same ammount of exercise as you will, but I will enjoy the ride.

My husband has had to take me in the car so many times this winter. Cold is manageable but soaking wet is no pleasure.

Enjoy your rolator and the benefits it will bring you. And three cheers for your son in law for making a bag to fit your oxygen. Brilliant!

Xx Moy

[leo60]

Yay! I can picture you with someone on the handlebars! Maybe after a little practise eh?!

Happy strolling, may the sun shine brightly on you 🌻☀️🌻☀️ xx

[Osha in reply to leo60]

Yes at the moment I’m learning how to keep in a straight line!

[Izb1]

Great news Osha, anything that helps us is a bonus, hope you get out and about a bit more now that the weather is on the change x

[PaperQueen]

That is brilliant, it's not only good for our lungs to get walking, but does no end of good to our spirits. Enjoy the sunshine, hopefully there will soon be a lot more of it. xx

[Osha]

thank you so much for all the responses to my news of buying a rollator. Lovely people and lovely sunshine Life can be good if you let it be good (even with lousy lungs)

[Loopylorre in reply to Osha]

Enjoy your new found freedom with the ingenious way to carry oxygen around with you 😊🌷💐🌸

[Souielouie]

what lovely news Osha , it certainly lifts your spirits when you can get out in the fresh air. Especially if the sun ☀️ is shining. 🥰

[Alberta56]

When I next come down to Eastbourne, I shall thumb a lift from the first lady who comes along with a rollator. If it's not you, she'll probably be calling for the men in white coats.

I'm glad you've got this wonderful sounding machine. I've been trying to persuade my husband to get one, but I shall probably end up getting myself one before he agrees. Enjoy the sun as you stroll along the prom, prom, prom. 😊😊😊🌞🌞🌞xxx

[Osha in reply to Alberta56]

The same men in white coats will be coming for me too!!

[Alberta56 in reply to Osha]

We'll fight them off together. xxx

[Welshcatlady]

Those Rollators can be such a help. I have one, it really does help me, I have Fibromyalgia as well as COPD, I can walk much further with it, and if I need to rest I can sit on the little seat for a while, it's been a godsend to me. Hope you get lots of use out of yours. As for the sun, it's been sunny here all day - Vale of Glamorgan, South Wales - a real bonus as the weather forecast on my phone showed clouds all day! Enjoy what's left of the sunshine and enjoy the freedom brought on by your rollator. I call mine Ronnie, my husband's is called Tilley!

[Osha in reply to Welshcatlady]

Ha I can visualise Ronnie and Tilley going down the road. I think they should be advertised more. I was wondering if the government would have them in NHS supplies

[Welshcatlady in reply to Osha]

We often get remarks like are you having a race, or who is winning the race! Just a thought, did you pay VAT when you purchased yours? If so you can claim it back, we bought ours from Amazon, we requested VAT declaration forms which we filled in and sent back to them and were sent a refund. When we have purchased other items in person we have just filled in the form at the shop and the VAT was then deducted.

[Osha in reply to Welshcatlady]

No I didn’t pay vat. It was from a mobility aid shop in north London. The invoice said no vat Thanks for asking though

[Welshcatlady in reply to Osha]

OK

[Rosydays]

My mum has a rollator which the NHS gave her, on the recommendation of her occupational therapist.She’s just out of hospital after a heart attack.

[Osha in reply to Rosydays]

I’m so sorry to read your post that your mum has had a heart attack. I wish her a get well soon X
