Seriously Considering An Electric Scooter For My Dad

My Dad is 77 years old, and a week ago Saturday something awful happened – he was taking a load of laundry out of the dryer at home and he lost his balance, fell backwards, and fractured his pelvis. I know, OUCH.  It’s six weeks of as little movement as possible while he heals, and I know it’s frustrating for him, since he loves to do things like go to Spartan Basketball games and out to lunch with his friends. He has a walker, but it’s not practical for long distances.

A few days ago on the phone with my Stepmom, I brought up the subject of a scooter. I had done some Googling and found electric adult scooters from Lyric that look nothing like the scooters I usually see advertised on TV. For example, the RNG3R scooter is meant not for sitting down on, but for standing on! How cool would my Dad look zipping through the mall on one of these?

Features of the RNG3R include:

Slip resistant, elevated standing platform
Low maintenance and low energy cost
Frame folds up for easy transportation
Locking Security System
Dual Suspension System with Shock Absorber

The RNG3R has a maximum speed of 22 mph and can go 25 miles on a battery charge. And it looks really cool! Think my Dad will go for it?

Where to Buy Colored Or Disposable Contact Lenses

Have you ever thought about changing or enhancing your eye color? If you wear contact lenses, you should be able to find colored contact lenses through your regular supplier. I remember when colored contacts were available in basic colors like blue and green, but now you can find all kinds of shades that enhance your natural eye color, or give you a whole new look. 1-800-CONTACTS carries brands that have colors available like chestnut, sapphire, grey, aqua, and honey.  Your doctor can prescribe a colored contact lens that both improves your vision and gives your eyes a whole new look!

Contact lenses were invented in the early 70s, and when my friends started wearing them, which would have been in the late 70s, they were stuck with hard lenses that had to be sterilized and treated with care so they didn’t scratch. Luckily for today’s contact lens wearers, the disposable contacts available can be changed monthly, weekly, or even daily. Replacing contact lenses frequently helps avoid infections that can occur when the protein and calcium in your tears builds up on your lenses.

Check with your eye doctor first before ordering colored or disposable contact lenses from a website. He or she will also give you a schedule for how often to wear your lenses, how often to clean them, and how often to replace them. 1800contacts.com promises to beat any price on contact lenses, and they offer free shipping on orders over $50.00! Visit them today to see how they can save you money on your contact lenses.
