Even if your doctor has already prescribed a medical scooter for you, you will find here two initial steps you can do to make your life easier and prepare for the arrival of the medical scooter.
The three steps you can do right away are The rearranging of your office and home office space, Removing the clutter and A new exercise plan.
Let's look at both of these and how they will help you prepare.
The rearranging of your office and home office space It might well be that your office space by law is already wheelchair accessible.
This will be a great starting point.
What you can do on top of that is to rearrange your office furniture, working desks, your monitors, chairs, cupboards, and other pieces to achieve better ergonomics.
First, be conscious of what you do as you arrive in your office.
Observe every single move you make, and find out why you are doing that move.
Next, imagine yourself driving in with a medical scooter.
What would you do first, what next.
Would you follow the same sequence of actions, would they be different? How should you rearrange the furniture to be able to achieve the sequence of actions go smoothly? Remove any clutter Regardless of how small your medical mobility scooter will be, and how it can turn on a dime, you will find that you will need quite a bit more space moving around with a medical scooter.
So removing any clutter will help a great deal.
Ask yourself - what materials can be removed from the floor plan.
A pile magazines on the floor? Toss all but the latest issues and make room.
Look around carefully.
You will see things you don't really use that are taking up precious space that will be needed when the medical scooter arrives.
And, even before the scooter arrives, you will feel better in an office with more room and less distractions.
Get on a new exercise plan After you have rearranged your office or home office, and removed any clutter, it will be easier to implement the new exercise plan too.
With the new exercise plan, pay attention to exercising body parts that you feel fibromyalgia pain in.
Exercise these body parts with care.
Think stretching exercises.
Think light aerobic exercises.
The plan does not have to be perfect, but anything that is new and exciting will work.
