Just to say many thanks to everybody that applied back to my post disabled it was a great help.

Based on all your advice I have decided NOT to buy a new pair of football boots 🤡

Sorry it’s about thinking about moving house as the location is not disabled friendly.

Thanks again much appreciated.

Take care and stay safe 😊

Me neither, but I have just bought knee pads, elbow pads and wrist pads, plus a pair of skiing shorts with padded thighs and bum! I’m falling often now so I want to avoid cuts and bruises. I feel safe in my wheelchair but even managed to fall out of that the other day. Life is full of little challenges!

That's difficult one Paul but hey, we adjust don't we!Usually finding compensations within our reach. I was crazy fast once and feisty but I had CBT for anxiety and now enjoying the slow pace. Life's very different. Stay safe and don't forget to smile 😉

Good to see we still have our sense of humour. Confess I thought once about skiing, because it is a sport that uses 2 walking sticks! Did not act as I refuse to fly abroad. Now told I can get to Aviemore by train. Too late. Is there a sport that uses rollators?
