My excuse is that by the time we put the #lightsout at night it's usually around 02:00 and then I fall #asleep to the sounds of an #audiobook or my nephew's #radioshow on #catch-up.

I call it keeping #musician's hours. #Gigs never finish that early and then you have to travel home.

The dear old #NHS (#NationalHealthService) has finally decided after a year or so on a waiting list to out source it's #Neurology #Appointments. I'm hoping that will get to the bottom of the problem, even if it does mean diagnosis of something similar to my father, who from around my age progressed through #walkingframe to #wheelchair as the strength disappeared from his legs.

There's no reason that mobility equipment has to be ugly. This is a rollator (wheeled walking frame that doubles as a portable seat) for people who have balance issues, pain, or fatigue, and it's gorgeous.

If you think that this is a trivial issue, the appearance of mobility equipment can affect the degree of ableism/ageism that other people inflict on the person using the mobility equipment. Also, far too many falls are due to people who won't use their mobility equipment because they worry that it makes them "look old".

And putting the brake cables inside the rollator frame means they won't get snagged on things, which can be a hazard with other types of rollators.

I have not been paid in any way whatsoever for making this post.
