It’s 12.15am on Saturday morning and I am trying to sleep. It should be easy, I’ve been tired for hours but I just can’t get comfortable.

It never feels right if I leave the house without my walking frame or wheelchair.

That awkward time of year
At the risk of sounding like a stereotypical Brit who always talks about the weather, that’s pretty much what I’m going to do today, because this time of year can be just plain awkward for me sometimes.
Sure, I love how pretty autumn looks with all the colours and stuff, but at the moment it’s neither nice and warm nor freezing cold, which means that my body can’t decide if I’m hot or cold. This mostly just leaves me feeling a bit unwell a lot of the time with that tired, achy, shaky, cold feeling. I’m pretty sure you know the one.
Thoughts on getting a new walking frame
My physio has ordered me a new nimbo walking frame. I’ve had my current one Martha for over two years now and after being used almost every day during that time she’s starting to show wear and tear. The wheels are wobbly and she’s starting to get rickety. It’s time for her to retire.
Even though my new frame will just be an exact replacement of the same model, I’m still feeling quite emotional at the thought of getting a new one. I always do, actually. I realise this probably sounds silly to a lot of people, but I get attached to each one. It becomes like a friend that gets me through the good times and the hard, and everything in between.
