I think it's a time for a wheelchair
This week is not my week. I hurt my hip after popping it on Thursday and while it's healed up pain wise my legs on a whole gave gone to the bins.
Walking just around the house has become unbearable, standing for just a few minutes makes me soo unwell I have to sit down.
I went to choir today. Which normally would be a 2minute walk to the bus. Then a 5-10minute walk to the concert hall. (It's literally o the same street as the bus stop)
Today. 5minute walk to the bus and a 20minute walk to the concert hall. On the way back out it took me almost 40minutes, no joke to get from the concert hall to the bus stop. There were a few tears shed to say the least just trying to manage this feat.
I knew it was going to be a huge challenge because I've been struggling around the house but I never expected it to be this hard.
So yeah. I'm going to my gp(doc) tomorrow because I can't handle this . Kicker. I have no money to taxi it. So I'm going to have to struggle my bahookie there.
Oh already use a crutch and walker everywhere including round the house.
yes, I know how you feel, I suffer the same where my legs go weak and can not stand , I am now in a wheel chair
If I could do anything different with my MS journey, I would go for a powered portable scooter over a wheelchair. My arms deteriorated very soon after I needed a wheelchair so I had to just sit and be pushed around. The powered scooter opened up so much more opportunities. My portable powered scooter takes up less room in vehicles and restaurants etc.... I know it’s a struggle for most of us to spend valuable funds on power scooters but wheelchairs can be pricey too?
