Guest guest Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 Thanks Kay, I'm going to rent one. I hate having to rely on it, but I'll just have to swallow my pride and to what needs to be done. I'm so much of a fighter, I hate having to give in to a crutch... too stubborn I guess... not wise tho. Norah Re: Thank you for the warm welcome :-) Hi Norah, This is just a suggestion...how about renting the wheel chair and bringing it with you but not using it unless you have to? I would think it would be a relief to know you have it with you. If you try and push yourself on the first or second day...you will be miserable and hurting the rest of the vacation. I can sympathize with you not being able to tell the difference from the arthritis pain and the fibro pain. It's like a double whammy, isn't it? I hope you have a good time and don't forget your pain pills...LOL Kay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 I rented a wheelchair to go to my granddaughter's special day at her school. It was grandparent's day and I thought I would see a zillion wheelchairs....nope, just me. I felt so gross and then I realized that was false pride and to think it through. Tomorrow night is her dance recital and is out of town so I don't have a wheelchair. I was supposed to go to the doc today and get a brace for my leg and I felt so lousy I couldn't go. Bummmmmmmmers!!!!! Sorry for the whining....I can still see and hear and think and play the piano and read. I'm not so bad off!!
