Hi, please ignore ignoramus and continue getting out and about (when you feel up to it).
Sorry to hear you have numerous conditions, I'm similar.
Life's too short to take any notice of ignorance!
can feel my heart beating harder,
Try to relax (easier said than done, I know)
Good Luck, don't drive it too fast!
Maybe stick an L plate on it
You use that scooter....you hold your head up.
Right!
how do you make it go forward again
where the gears ...
Hope you got on better today.

me i tend to just say what i think. in this case as iv done before to people like that id say.
yes an mri would show u have a brain but ur attitude clearly doesnt know it.
im a smoker im sat where my sister put my chair as she got an ergent call from her son. she hadnt seen the sign. im registered blind in a wheelchair sitting there with my white cane in one hand and a cig in the other. (we wehere at the hospital and thought we were off there grounds) an ambulance stopped and the drive says “no smoking cant u read the sign” i say “oh hello no i cant read the sign im registered blind do u need to borrow my cane as u clearly missed it..” as he drove off in silence i said “should have gone to specsavers” lol.
i never used to say boo to a goose but iv learned if people r going to judge u anyway u might as well give them what for. (i wont swear at them) plus it makes u feel good u have said what u really think to them.
Try to be a rainbow in someone else’s cloud.
