Is a wheelchair my ultimate fate?

You mentioned dizziness so I was wondering what it was from. I understand your situation. I have been there when I fractured so many vertebrae but got a lot of function back. I hope you can find something or someone that helps. This kind of isolation and feelings of powerlessness are very very hard.

Dizziness caused by ME/CFS, neuropathies from the stenosis and having to take a medicine that adds a bunch to being dizzy. Carvedilol for the heart. I have been suffering total spinal stenosis for 60 years from the initial injury. Still upright, use a clawed can and I have a walker, but that causes so much jarring, if I need it, then I ask for a wheelchair assist. I don't feel powerless, you've misread that. I know how to make accomodations over the years.
