Hey Mark & Kelley!!
I'll tell you something, Mark -- on the confidence issue -- that ship has sailed!! Like you, I sometimes find myself stopped dead in my tracks, terrified to pick up one foot for fear the other leg will give out and I'll go down. I so much prefer my chair because I just feel safer, but it's such a pain to transport and right now, we just can't afford to purchase a vehicle. The rollator is a pretty good alternative, but using that exhausts me, but at least I feel safer since it supports me. But my weakness has increased to where I can barely get my rollator in and out of my vehicle without help. So, going places by myself is becoming more and more difficult.
Kelley -- boy, have I said that myself -- I am sick and tired of being sick and tired. And that's one of the problems I have a lot -- distinguishing between whether I'm weak (always am) or tired or a combination of both.
I guess this is a good thread for all of us to vent in. I hope everyone has a rested day.
