Many elderly adults don't think far enough ahead to realize that they need to keep the strength in their legs and use these chairs and scooters so much more than they should. Once that happens, and they lose all strength in their legs and the ability to walk, they end up in 24 hour care in a nursing home because they can no longer even take themselves to the bathroom. They totally lose their independence sooner than is necessary from relying on those machines too heavily.
I wish your grans well. I'm very jealous because I wish I still had mine. I know you cherish them and care for them deeply. You're a good guy, Roon. :hug:
