As some of you readers know I have had some difficult health problems over the last couple of years. Early on I discovered that walking would be more helpful if I had some "walking aids. These items provide my thankful list for today.
1. A three-wheeled walker. At first I borrowed one, but soon found that I was going to need one on a more permanent basis so I purchased one. I use it here in the house some, and on occasion I use it when I go to church. I'm thankful for my walker.
2. A walking cane. We had a cane we got after Clara's mother died and I used that for awhile. Soon however I felt I needed one that was a bit more versatile, so I purchased "Hugo," (that's the brand name on the cane). Hugo folds up and stores in a nice cloth bag so that it can be carried on a plane, or wherever. I'm indeed thankful for my cane. It just simply makes life easier.
3. A mobility scooter. I purchased this scooter about 1 1/2 years ago from an elderly lady here at the Villa. Her husband had used the scooter some, but not a whole lot. They had in turn purchased the scooter from another lady here at the Villa. I had know this man and had seen him use this scooter many times. I think he had purchased it new. The scooter gives me mobility to go to the wood shop in the Villa, to the Wellness Center, and even to the stores here in Hesston on occasion. I have also used it to go to church, but only a few times. I'm very thankful for my scooter and hope it will last me for awhile. I remain--
Pilgrim on the way
