Mobility Medical Information,Technology Innovations,and Better Health Tips. |

It was a sad, sad, sad day. And night, for that matter. Yours truly, Mr. Mobility Medical crossed over to the other side. No! Not that side. I am now oficially on the ‘other side’ of 60. Ouch.  I suppose I better be thinking that it’s the good side, you know. For years, as that moment was quickly approaching, I often wondered how I would decide to celebrate or mourn THAT day. I often thought that I would attempt a tandem skydive from a ridiculous altitude. Or possible go off on a wilderness hike way up in the Sierra’s. Or try to set some obscure world’s record, such as crawling backwards from coast to coast. Or circumnavigate the earth in a hot air balloon. Or learn Italian and sing in an opera, off key, of course. Or, or, or, or, or.  The list can/could go on for ever, at least in my mind. There was a movie recently with Jack Nicholson that he referred to his aging, to-do list as his ‘bucket list’. Well, here’s what I pulled out of my bucket to celebrate. I opted to spend the better part of the day in almost complete silence. Let me explain. I was a bachelor for most my life, as I got married when I turned fifty. Can you say ‘late bloomer’? God bless my wonderful wife, as I was getting older I had become just a little set in my ways, and she still decided to marry me. THEN, we decided (actually my wife did) to have a kid. And we did. A mean little girl, just like her mother. Nah…….not by any stretch of the imagination is my little girl mean. And neither for that matter is my wife. My sweet, beautiful, talented, and smart little girl just turned 17, errr, I mean 7 years old. Now let’s be realistic here. Doesn’t everyone who has kids think of them that way?! For once Il’d like to hear someone introduce their child as ‘my ugly and dumb kid’. Well, we all know people that have those kinds of kids, don’t we. Do you think they know it?   Anyway, back to the real story. I’ve worked in sales all my life, and I still do. So all day I talk/listen, talk/listen, talk/listen…….you get the picture. Then I come home and guess what? Talk/listen, talk/listen, talk/listen, etc.   To make this long story short, my ‘bucket’ was overflowing for want of silence. No sound whatsoever. To some that may not seem like a lot of fun, but it was heavenly. Oh, and then I took the family to my daughter’s favorite Sushi place for dinner. Then, of course, a good ol’ Disney movie to top it all off.  Ahhhhhh, to be 60 again! What started off as a sad, sad, sad day, actually turned out to be the BEST day of my life. Just don’t remind me that 61 is coming.

Sometimes in life, reality rears up and smacks you in the face. Well, that’s exactly what is happening to me right now. I’m one of those Baby Boomers, who until recently, didn’t really consider himself getting older. It’s amazing how kind the mind is when you let it. I’m pushing 60, so close to it I’m about to be on the other side of it. It’s getting harder everyday to crawl out of bed and to do the simplest of activities. That’s whats got me  thinking about mobility medical information and products. I’ve done had the open heart surgery, the gall bladder removal, and the back just isn’t the same any more. In fact, I’m seriously thinking about renting one of those mobility scooters the next time I go to an amusement park or a State Fair. For that matter, for just about anywhere I need to walk for long distances. The plus side of that thinking is twofold: First, it appears that younger people take a little pity on the “poor old guy” in the scooter and get out of your way. Second, you get to cut in line. Is that cool, or what?! That being said, why can’t I take advantage of all the new technology and products that are being brought to this market, to address exactly my kind of needs? That’s why I decided to create this web site, to search-out all the cool new ideas, gadgets, products, and even foods that will make my “later years” just a little bit easier. After searching the web for some specific products to meet my specific needs, and not being able to find the solutions in one concise spot, I decided to put all mobility medical products in a central location. A kind of “one stop” search site. I know, to some of you 60 isn’t very old. And I suppose some of you are right, especially those of you who are pushing 100. But I guess age is relative anyway. Brain and thinking wise, I don’t seem old. Just don’t ask my body, as it has a mind of its own. It is my hope that others feel the same way and would like to contribute ideas, products, and content to this site. Please feel free to make suggestions as to what you would like to see here.

Stay tuned, much more to come.
