The day after Christmas, my family traveled up to Chapel Hill and Durham for the day to have a nice lunch with my aunt, cousin, and grandmother. Grandmother is 95 years old and though she’s lived in a retirement for several years now, she still complains about “all these old people” that can’t carry on a good conversation at dinner. (That always makes me laugh. Age is just a number, right?)
Anyway, the past year has been a little rough for Grandmother and she has more trouble getting around than she used to. She’s had to start using a walker since her knee has become susceptible to giving out at any moment, and early in 2009 she had to move from an independent living facility into assisted living. This past fall, she got a power chair.
So of course Jose and I had to test it out. You know, for safety.
Turns out those things are pretty zippy when you crank the power all the way up. 🙂
