Thank you for the kind messages, peeps.
I really appreciate it.
I cannot believe the process happened so fast.
From phone call to hand-back was less than 24hrs.
Again, I have to say that my discussions with Motability were amazing.
I’d go as far to say that I was shocked at how understanding and sympathetic they were.
And to top it off, the door is “fully open to return if circumstances change”.
So, the car has gone and we have a private sale replacement sat on the drive.
The reason we did this?
Well………
My lifelong plan to make it to retirement fell apart and my employer of 37 years agreed to retire me on ill-health grounds.
My condition is deteriorating which means my mobility is worsening. My surgeons have finally thrown the towel in and I have had the news that no one ever wants to hear. “There is no more that can be done.”. So more more operations. Only monitoring and meds reviews.
My final bastion of hope is that as technology progresses, genetics testing of my condition finally throws up something that will help my doctors manage my twisted skeleton. I should note that, as of today, and after 55 years, I am listed as ‘Condition unknown’. I have a unique genetic code. Not a monicker I am pleased to have. Even more so when you learn that when this happens, the code is ‘shelved’ and only ever researched, medically, if many, many more are identified.
Due to all of this, I am probably, single handed, keeping the various morphine manufacturers in business. 🙂
So because of all this, my calcs are all about keeping what we have as opposed to what can we have.
And very good points made above. This forum is about more than just Motability. We shall soldier on here.
Apologies for the outpouring. That’ll teach you to ask ‘why?’
As you were, everyone ?
? I will be remembered for nothing but had great fun doing it ?
