I understand how you feel J2F, and I feel real empathy for your transitional situation.
I know that I need to use a wheelchair but I’m fighting against it. Walking is so painful that it’s stopping me from enjoying life. I’ve almost become a recluse.
Last week I had a brilliant holiday with some of my family at Butlins, but I could only join the family by letting them go ahead and walking a few steps at a time between benches. I will say the pain I was in was compensated for by the pleasure of an outside pint with loved ones, lol.
I know I would have done so much more with a wheelchair, but my silly pride is holding me back at the moment. I used to be an athlete and coming to terms with my current condition is hard.
Your story gives me strength.
