Good news: I have an 85 year old mother, 3 older brothers, and 3 older sisters who have been with me through my entire ordeal of my accident, amputation, and subsequent recovery. And they love me very much and have become VERY protective of their "baby brother " and his safety.
Bad news: see above [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]
Every so often to test the waters, I imply that I'm not very fearful of getting on a scooter again, and I see them nearly STOP BREATHING. So I'll just leave it alone for now. Yes, at age 52 I'm very much old enough to make my own decision in this matter. However, I'm also smart and considerate enough to remember the look in my oldest brother's eyes, the fatigue in my middle sister's face, and the sight of my mother preparing and serving 3 meals a day for me. They were the ones who were there daily from day one because they live here.
Therefore, I'll put any plans fir riding again on hold until such a time that the very thought of me riding anything on two wheels other than a BICYCLE no longer causes them to stop breathing. Lol.
But given the situations where I see people who have NO ONE to care about them, I'll choose my situation any day.
Just thinking and sharing. My blessings outweigh my burdens by a WIDE MARGIN!
