Hi, @slarson14

"I am deathly afraid of being stuck sitting or confined to a wheelchair."

Me, too. That's it, isn't it, the rock-hard center of our worst fears, having to so radically accommodate our disease that we lose all sense of who we are. I'm contesting some of this right now. I lost my partner last year. That's why I'm living alone. I'm 81, reasonably healthy, but 81 is still 81. I I have my neuropathy with its related balance challenges. Those balance challenges, such as they are, have had limited impact on three-quarters of my life, but they proved sufficiently challenging to necessitate my quitting my day job. Tote all that up and what have you got? Me, lately having some difficulty recognizing myself. Me? Oh, where have you gone? Identity? You little devil. Where are you when I most need you? LOL
