Thank you Silverbear
Ah sigh....... getting old is not for the weak in spirit. I think once mid-Winter is behind me and the weather starts to warm up I'll be able to get around and do a bit more. Your apartment in town as Winter refuge sounds like a good compromise. That way you can still enjoy the lakes and forest when the weather is good. The 1930s cottage I call home was reasonably well insulated by a previous owner and when I moved in I had further underfloor insulation done so I keep warm in Winter, but with the cold stormy and wet weather we've been having trying to do anything in my workshop or out in the carport is out of the question.I talked with my doctor about mobility scooters at my last appointment and she agrees with me that using my tricycle is the best solution for me. I am able to walk with a stick, it's just that I can go further on my tricycle and I don't suffer anything like the same level of pain and discomfort afterwards. Perhaps one day I will need a mobility scooter, but so long as I'm able to pedal myself about I'm going to stick with my Hercules tricycle.
