I am new to this site, but love it already. Everyone is so supportive and friendly. I must be struggling worst than i realize as I was at work reading this topic and found myself crying...thinking about alllll the things I cannot do now.
My list is sad and extensive!
I will not miss having to sit in the car (in all types of weather) while my fiancee does all the shopping, because my knees and back hurt to much to walk around the store... Not to mention the excessive sweating
Wont miss the medication I can barely remember to take anyway
Having to use a cane and/or wheelchair
Being afraid to go to friends/family homes because I may not fit in their chairs and/or there may be lots of steps to climb. For that matter being afraid to go anywhere, theatres, restaurants, parks, clubs, church, etc.
Ordering 90% of my clothing from catalogs... Then having to return some because they dont fit or are just plain ugly
Not being able to walk with my co-workers at lunch and having to pretend that I'd rather surf the internet....but since I found this site, I would rather....
Not being able to babysit my granddaughter (by myself) because i cant run back and fourth with her
Not being able to visit my parents, grandmother and brothers graves because of th
e walk
Being winded just from the short walk from my truck to my office or bathroom
Having assistance bathing and applying lotion to my feet
Being to tired and lazy to cook or get a cup of Water....so doing without or resorting to that ever present bag of potato chips or candy, thats on the table next to the bed Im no doubt laying in. Whewwww Im making myself sad again.. But looking forward to brighter days full of me being able to do all of the above and feeling wonderful.
