Scooters-help!!!!!!
Posted: Sat Oct 08, 2011 10:30 pm
I live in Winnipeg and I really could use some help in finding a scooter that will work for me. I've been looking for 8 months now. I'm tired of staying home most of the time because of my mobility issues with walking.
My problem is, because of MS, I am not able to sit with my left leg bent when sitting(hurts too much). I need to have it extended out, resting foot on ground(bottom of scooter).
I've gone to 8 scooter stores in Winnipeg and none of the scooters would work for me. They tell me good luck, you will never find one. The thing is, I've seen people before on scooters with a wider,longer bottoms.
I need a scooter with a long, and wide enough bottom so I can have my left leg straight out, resting on the floor of scooter.
I am a short person, 5 feet, so it's not like I have long legs or anything.
Scooters I have sat on and extended my left leg out, the bottom of the scooter didn't have enough floor space to it, so my leg could rest on it. The console's were so wide, no room to put my foot.
If anyone knows what I'm talking about and have any ideas, I would greatly appreciate it.
I have the money to buy a scooter, new or used, just where to get it?????
Thanks soooooo much for any help, ideas.....
