Recliner chair delivered today. It is very comfortable. The best feature though is the way it raises to bring me into a standing position. Getting up from any chair requires much effort now and as my leg and hip muscles are weak, so assistance is very welcome. Mary took me to Bluewater where I picked up prescriptions from Boots, including one from the dentist for some special toothpaste as he thought my condition may make brushing my teeth more difficult. Given the bad press dentists have enjoyed this week it's good to know there's one, at least, with a generous nature. Collected my specs from optician's. The assistant had them ready before I reached the counter. Time was when I would have taken this as a compliment but now I know it's because she recognised the mobility scooter!
