| Re: Transition: Walking has gone from difficult to near-impossible
Hello all,
Mark I can feel your pain. I was just thinking today, should you ever give walking? I can still walk with a walker but it takes so much out of me. I try to walk to the bathroom, but sometimes, like today, I'm just like forget it, bring my potty chair to me, lol!!!! I guess we have to keep on trucking until we just can't. I also try to make sure I listen to my body and not to the people around me, who mean well but they just don't seem to understand that when you can't sometimes you can't. You're not giving up but you're just not up to it at that point. I have good days and bad days, just like everyone else. I'm so glad there is a place for me to vent too!!!!

! Able bodied people just can't understand, try as they may. Walking has been hard for 2 or 3 years now. I'd get tired after 100 feet and just have felt generally weak when walking. But in the last 2 or 3 months, all of a sudden I can't seem to walk at all. I have to use a walker. The cane doesn't cut it anymore. I feel like my legs won't hold my weight. It takes all I've got to not get depressed. I know you all understand this. I'm way more frustrated than depressed. But frustration's not fun either. Anyway, I'm hanging in there! I know you'll all at different stages of this, and some of you close to the stage I'm at. Okay.....thanks for listening.
