My last visit to Vegas, I saw a lot of those scooters and yes, they were being used by people who may not have had health problems.
And yes, some disabilities are not visible. One of my friends looks fine, but he has heart problems, among other things, so he does need his scooter. He told me he finds these scooters to be easier to maneuver than traditional wheelchairs, even the motorized ones, particularly among crowds and in tight spaces.
I usually don’t get in on the topic of disability.
Last night, I walked about 4 miles from my hotel to the movie and back.
Sounds pretty healthy?
Three nights ago, I couldn’t stand up, and my left leg was so numb I had to drag my butt to the tub to soak for 2 hours.
A week ago, I walked to dinner about a mile and a half away and then back. Two days before that, I was in so much pain, I literally cried myself to sleep after soaking and taking pain pills.
I have scar tissue on my spine that occasionally causes me chronic pain. I constantly have severe back pain to a point that I ignore it most of the time. Sometimes, it gets too intense.
Please tell me, why, if I could, I wouldn’t want to rent one of these? I’m 6’0, and about 235 lbs. Occasionally, I carry both my boys (80 and 55 lbs), and others, I’m in so much pain, I can’t walk. So, am I a bad person for wanting to occasionally use a service to keep my agony down?
