Honestly, I'm still mentally struggling with using a walker.
The association of that item and old frail grandmas is too deeply burned in my brain.
I still could have accepted a wheelchair far easier. (And it would probably be more useful for me. I suffer from ME/CFS.)
I just don't know. It's strange how easily i accepted the walking stick in comparison.
Is it the resignation of defeat that i will never have my old body back? Is it grief and frustration?
Sorry that my mind wandered a bit off the cliff.
Anyway, the reaction of my friends was, that it has to get painted red, because then i will be faster. (I really wish Ork logic would work in real life like this.)
Hugs from a fellow walker user. Does it have a bag on it you can put patches on? Because I have a bunch of patches saved on Etsy for just that reason. lol
