it must be so isolating for you, I have a few people who take me to visit my mum, try to go once a week but times , due to me not being able to go,it’s been a few weeks.
i feel guilty if I cannot go visit her.
have you anyone that can take you or visits you?

Hi @brad23
Sorry to hear that you have lost your car. I know it isn't the same as having your own car but have you checked to see if there is a community transport scheme in your area?
