I've just had an Email from the man who is going to come and repair my Breeze scooter.
He and his dog Rosie will come next Friday.
The new batteries will have to charge for 16 hours before use so I could be blasting up and down the Cliffs in celebration next Sunday.
What a thought!
It will be fantastic to get my dear faithful old Breeze back. I have missed her. A LOT!
My thanks to the Elizabeth Finn Trust for making it possible. They are a Charity who have agreed to pay for the parts. The spare parts come to £495, plus new batteries at £260, plus labour at £20 per hour plus repairman's travelling expenses. I could never have afforded that and it will mean the world to me to have a reliable sturdy scooter under my bum again. I'll be able to go grocery shopping again, visit friends who live up a hill, visit my Mum in Hythe and generally get about on my own steam. With reliable transport I could even think about a part time job in a quiet office somewhere. Until you are disabled, you don't realise just how much someone depends on their scooter or electric wheelchair. My hips are usually very sore and the suspension on the Breeze is fantastic. Also, it doesn't shake you about so you end up less tired after going out than on another sort of scooter. The Breeze can handle anything which is great, as I can't.
