Is it difficult for you to walk indoors? Will a walker help you? Some come with a seat. You can use the walker to stand. Sorry to hear are having difficulty standing. Do you have a caregiver who can help you? I do the best I can due to my physical disability. I couldn’t stand or walk at first. It took time to strengthen my muscle and to learn to walk again. I still have the dizziness which limits my mobility. Push yourself to learn but be careful not to fall. It was not easy for me because the dizziness and motion sickness made me feel awful. I did what I could. I try to figure out ways to make tasks easier on me.

Sunny, you can also use a wheelchair. It may be safer to use your arms to rotate the wheels and move around. You have worked in the medical field for 20 years. I am sure you will find the best way for you. Physical therapy taught me to use a quad cane for outdoors to manage uneven surfaces. I also have a transport chair for long distances to manage trails or events like fairs.

I can relate to that. I can barely stand for two minutes. I can’t sit, lie down, or walk. My dog is the one who gives things for me. I have a cane, walker, and scooter. I have a chair I sleep in. All I want is to have one day without pain and am still dreaming about it happening.
I’ll wait for it or not but either way, I’ll survive.
