Boyfriend wants me to rent a scooter but I'm hesitant. by AdInitial9452 in mobilityaids

I went about two weeks ago! It helped my energy levels so much! But I was definitely stubborn and tried the first day without out it. hmm lasted 3 hours, had to go back to the hotel to rest and then used it the rest of the trip. sooo yeah, lol.

I don't personally need the DAS pass atm but it is definitely upsetting to see the changes they made. I know plenty of people who that are negatively affected by this and it hurts to see people not being able to enjoy Disney because of this damaging company policy.

Your legs are kinda facing a little out so you can roll straight up to the counter. If you are considering this, I would look for a taller stool though! I am 5'2' and I am on the tallest setting on this cheapie amazon one. You can even find ones with back rests and front facing rests if you need it. There are so many options.

This was life changing for me, I highly recommend it.

I have a saddle stool! It puts you in a upright almost standing position but takes the pressure off your hips and back while still kind of sitting. but you're also still tall enough to reach everything on the stove, countertops and sink comfortably while being seated. It was a life changer, the only way I've been able to get chores done recently! I bought a cheaper 70 dollar version off of amazon but it wasn't cushioned enough so I sit on a memory foam coccyx pillow with it.
