It is sinking in that I am no longer a 30 something, that passing happened with no great fireworks or luxury. Instead a mist of pain did that. But rather than dwell of the lack of that date I have come up with a challenge.
I need to find a genius, someone who understands the law of physics particularly water. There is a current bane to my life, which I doubt I am suffering alone, and that is the sheer safety of using crutches in the wonderful autumnal weather. I mean how many others have gone skidding across a damp supermarket floor, or stacked it on a wet ramp. We can't help the weather, but the grips on the bottom of crutches are hopeless in these conditions.
If I want to go shopping I have to choose one with a mobility scooter so I can get round with out injury. One supermarket said I could use a wheel chair. Nice idea in principle, but I hardly expect my 70 year old mother to push me round in one and navigate a trolley at the same time. Yes I could stay at home and do it all on line. but that is hardly the solution, instead it makes me a second rate citizen. Sure that's what the government would like me to be. Some silent voice who begs for any small morsel of help. But that's not my style, I am an independent human being, who would nothing better than to be back at work rather than stuck at home. But if there are mobility issues that could be solved by some genius of invention than why doesn't it happen.
At the end of the day I am only 40 not 80 so there is a lot that I could give back and do , if the simple things are sorted.
