Mobility

It came a time that I wanted something else besides the cane to help me get around - it became so hard to walk. I was able to walk blocks upon blocks. So I decided to get a scooter, I was more than embarrassed about it. I am going to be honest. I'm already self conscious that I am walking with a cane.


A coworker brought in his mother in law's scooter to let me use for the MJB/Jay Z concert back in 2008 and I was very eager about it. And the great service I got at MSG from security and ticket agents - made me feel special. Like I had nothing to worry about. No one was looking at me with curiosity.
I soon got my own, and b/c my insurance coverage required that I pay 10% - I only paid $75!
That was such a low cost for me to get out of the house. I was no longer trapped.

The site that I used was  www.pridemobility.com - I have the GoGo Ultra X.
It's really cool, it breaks down into 5 pieces (including the basket) which fits well into my trunk.

Now the only stares I get is from senior citizens and kids! I often just refer those people who actually ask where did I get it from.
 The pharmacy that carried it was Elmora Pharmacy in Elizabeth, NJ.

If you want to find it near you, go to Pride Mobility's website and search for locations.
