It is blowing a gale here,there is water laying on the road,it is perishing cold and my old dad has gone out in his wheelchair. His mate is with him on the bicycle.

Oh yes,it is fine going out but do they know they are going to have to come back? My dad will be alright with his electric motor but he may have to tow his mate.

Lol. Maybe he has taken a sail with him so he can erect it to blow them both home!!!

Or blow away if I am really lucky!

wot are they like lol

they got the attitude , (nowt will bother me, im not gona melt, a little rain never hurt, seen worse than this,) attitude

make me chuckle, they do,

i tell my dad , why do you walk to town when you got the car,

gotta keep fit, he says,
dont know why my backs aching and my knees are stiff,

um maybe cos he got a big hill up to his house he insists of yomping up,
lmao

let us know when your dad gets home safe sharron

Julie Ann, but if he didn't walk his back may be a lot worse and also his knees and he would also be depressed. If he is happy walking let him!!

I thought they were coming back just now but the were only going by.Maybe they couldn't stop!

hi ann,
lol i do let him ,cos i dont argue with dad,
he too nice to argue with, why would anyone,


i saw him over sainsbrys other saturday, he said hed been in town, (which is just by sainsbrys) that morning, walked home with some shoppin hed done,
well caught bus to bottom of hill then walked up , and home, then jumped in car and went over sainsbrys for few other bits he needed,

he makes me chuckle,
id have just took the car , parked in sainsbrys , done what i had to in town then got the rest and drove home,
bless him,
i know he enjoys walk, he always has

How old is your dad Julie Anne?

As you probably know, mine is ninety next week and was sent home from hospital to die two and a half years ago because he was making no progress.

They were not kicking him hard enough!

I must go downstairs and see if he is home now because it is bucketing down!
Good thing he can swim!

lmao sharron

im gobsmaked 90 next week, i didnt nknow,

he gone out for birthday lunch early then, lol

my dads 75, hes always been active,
but does get a few problems, now and then, like feeling like hes gona pass out, and then lays down, but tells me few days later, then confesses i did stop takeing my tablets, maybe thats something to do with it,
lol

your dads having a laugh at them medical staff sending him home by sounds of it,
hes got loads of fun to have and making sure hes gona do it,

tho i hope rain dont get to his battery on his scooter, !!! and his mate on his bike,
i cant help but laugh at these fellas, they put younger blokes to shame mind dont they,

my hubby hurt his leg again yesterday playing footy with son and mates, hubbys mates, hes 45 and sat with heat pad on his leg, !!!!!!!!!

It's not a scooter,it is a proper old invalid's type wheelchair. He just drives it like a drag-racer.
Wouldn't mind betting he was going through puddles to make a splash.

Just to remind me I am a carer,we have had a power cut so I am having to make contingency plans against the air mattress going down in the night.

It is on again now so let's hope it stays that way.

Is he back home yet Sharron or have you had to get the lifeboat out??? Chortling at visions of said wheel chair splashing through puddles and Dad shouting Wheeeeee!!!

lmao
sharron, i can just imagine your dad

he sounds like mine

they are still boys at heart arent they,

did he get home after , soaking wet,
bet he kept dry inspite of weather

Of course the crafty old devil came in dry.
The weather caused power cuts which meant his air mattress deflated.
After a great deal of effort I tracked down a single matress to put on his bed in case of a power cut in the night.

He has decided there will not be a power cut tonight so he does not want it on his bed.
If there is one and his mattress deflates he is not to shout because I won't be lying on iron bars so I don't care.!So there!

lol

you got you hands full there sharron with him

Sounds just the sort of patient I like! Knows his own mind.
