Re: [MSA]Byron...New Diagnosis/driving and senior centers

[Guest guest]

Hi.

I gave up driving in my 30's. I still have my drivers license , but

don't drive. I find Senior centers are extremely helpful with this task.

Also, the seniors tend to light up when they see younger riders. I guess

nice change of pace. I just wish they would talk about something other

than their hip surgery and knees and how I don't know what it is like

because I am not a senior. OR 'Wait until u get old'.

I don't want to be disrespectful in my reply. Many times what happens

is they see me walk and tremor, ect. and then get told to come back and

they would love to have me.
