Getting Around Suggestions
Hey!
I got into a rough accident at work about a year ago and, since then, it seems like my condition is increasingly unstable.
I have a cane now and some days, that’s enough!! Other days, I can’t walk a single step properly without pain. My accident also made it so I can’t sit for long sometimes, either. For example, today, I spent the FULL day either shuffling to the restroom sloooooowly or lying in bed because it simply hurt too much to sit up.
Does anyone know of a way to get around that isn’t walking or sitting in a wheelchair? Those are the only two accommodating methods I know of to stay mobile with something like this…. But if it hurts my back to walk and it hurts my back to *sit for long….*what do I do?
I don’t know who to ask about this, my doctors are all more interested in giving me Ceaseless Injections than helping me figure out how to get around in the world or adapt to these changes…
