Anyone lost the ability to walk due to peripheral neuropathy?

@ray666 Wow! Someone on the same page as me. I'm moving to Yankee land tho, the Oz Doctors' took my licence and car from me back in February. I still have feeling in my feet, glass is still there and lots of fluid from toes to above ankle. I really miss my car. Have had lots of fun outings in "Maverick" the wheelchair, car is still far better. Re: My useless legs my theory is if I stop pushing them, they'll give up also. Still slogging away in the garden. Cheers Wendy @wenner

Hello, Wendy (@wenner)
I can imagine how tough it is to have to give up driving. I haven't given up yet. That day will come, though. It does for all of us. Despite my neuropathy, I still have reasonable sensation in the bottoms of my feet, and despite the balance woes my neuropathy gives me when I walking about, still in the driver's seat still has me feeling secure, as secure as I ever had. Friends are always trying to go the extra mile for me (that might be a pun!), as one did only a few hours ago when he invited me to a birthday party on the outskirts of Denver and offered to give me ride to and from the party. I told him thank you but that I preferred driving my own car. That's not about me being bullheaded. It's about how my neuropathy has me not able to remain comfortably in one place for too long, especially when all the available chairs are low, low to the ground and my knees have enough walk-around difficulties without having to life my bod out of chairs that are low, low to the ground. 🙂
I hope you're having a wonderful day.
Cheers!
