I had major back surgery three years ago. I’ve had the neuropathy in my lower legs ever since the surgery. I was able to walk just fine and even play a little golf. But my legs did get tired and weak by the end of the day. And then last fall all of a sudden my legs started getting weaker and weaker to the point of literally giving out and I would fall. Then I would only be able to walk using a walker. And now I can get around the house with my walker but when we go out my wife pushes me around on a transport chair. My wife has to do everything for me. On top of my leg issues I have arthritis in both knees. So it is very scary for me to move around and I don’t do hardly anything without my wife’s assistance. I thank God for her everyday!
