How Did They Know?

I got a letter from "The Scooter Store" yesterday. They want me to take a FREE Personal Mobility Assessment to see if I could benefit from a new scooter. I thought it was rather timely as walking it starting to get exhausting. They are all yes or no questions.

1.) Do you sometimes feel left out by not being able to get together with family and friends? Yes, I wish I could make it to everything but I get to 3 PM and I want to sleep for the rest of the day.
2.) Do you have health-related issues that limit your mobility? Yes, this 8 month pregnant belly makes it difficult to stand, sit, walk, bend over, etc.
3.) Are you having trouble getting to your kitchen or dining facility by yourself for a meal? No, especially if there is an Oreo Shake or really spicy salsa involved.
4.) Is it difficult for you to get to the bathroom on your own? Sometimes. Especially when I have to roll myself out of bed in the middle of the night.
5.) Are you unable to easily access your clothes and dress yourself each day? Sometimes. Some days getting out of bed is hard enough.
6.) Have you lost the ability to operate a manual wheelchair inside your home? No, unfortunately I don't think I'd be the one using it. My boys would think it was WAY too cool.
7.) Are you feeling like a bother to others due to limited mobility? Yes, my kids think I am WAY too slow.
8.) Have you fallen in the past 12 months? Yes, I can be quite clumsy, luckily I haven't fallen YET with this pregnancy. Maybe an autumn baby isn't so bad, I don't have to deal with ice and I can wear flip flops or tennis shoes everywhere.

Then it says "If you answered 'yes' to any of these questions please call us." Apparently I could get a scooter... it made me laugh pretty hard, I wonder how they knew it was getting hard to walk. 6 more weeks and this little lady will show her pretty little face.
