Born in 1970 and diagnosed with MS in Jan 2006, a blog following the MiSadventures of this plucky mouse. Annonie believes you can hide any ill beneath a big smile, suntan and lipstick :-)

By 2019, our sheds and our kitchen had become increasingly full of my collection of mobility vehicles. Taking up even more space than bikes (which is saying something in our house) I decided in 2020 some had to go.
First on the list were the never used Norman (my cheap normal foldable wheelchair) and Mac MacClaren the all-terrain Trekinetic that had served its purpose well in Corsica and Costa Rica. Both chairs seemed ridiculously huge and heavy in comparison to my made to measure tiny Purple Gekko I'd been using since early 2019.
Ebay to the rescue and both chairs were collected by new owners just before lockdown.
Meanwhile I couldn't remember when I'd last used Sitzkreig my little junior TravelScoot.
Relying on a motor, it always felt like I was being lazy by choosing this option. What I call the 'scooter' stage of MS is a slippery slope. Ok, walking to town is not possible and it's a good solution, but it felt like giving up. With determined practice my arms have become my legs and the Purple Gekko is now my means of getting out independently.
So Sitzkreig was despatched to a new owner in June and my PayPal balance has never been so healthy!
This might not sound much, but I am proud to progress to a wheelchair and keep my active independence. Not relying on a motor or being pushed around by anyone means a lot to me.
