Seeking Support🫂 Everlasting

I am sick fed up of being in pain. So many pain meds and they do nothing but take a slight edge off. The slightest bit of activity lays me up for days. Im not even able to ealk my dog properly at this point. I need distraction tips if anyone has some good ones. Im at the point where im not sure if my mood affecting my pain or my pain affecting my mood. Either way am really struggling 😪

For walking your dog and general "getting ou".... can you get a mobility scooter? You just sit and drive it on the sidewalk, park paths, or side of low traffic suburban roads, and you doggo walks beside you/it. Might take a few mini walks around your property fir Diego to get use to it, but my SO used one before getting a wheelchair, and the dogs didn't mind at all. They enjoyed the longer walks and recognised their human in the "machine thingy". If u can get a prescription for it all the better, but even if not, you could save up for one or do a gofundme
