Re: Feeling bummed by canes, walkers, power chairs I think in the long run one can see the motor chair as "liberating" in that it will allow you to do more and relieve some of the fatigue of walking everywhere. In the short term, it is a bummer as one feels one is giving in/or losing the battle with MS. For me at present, that's my situation with a walking cane. I have one that I took with me on my vacation. But, I still couldn't bring myself to use it. --Dana F. Utz utzdanacomcast (DOT) net

Yes, I second that Dana. Remember the "spoon theory"? I think of assistive devices as not only necessary for safety, but they are also a means for conserving "spoons" and being able to do more in your day.

Thankyou n. That means alot to me. I value your support and

everyones here very much. Im too sick to deal with him but I do cuz I

love him. It sounds strange but I wish I didnt love him as much as I

do. It just breaks me heart over and over. Im hoping he sees his psych

soon. I think he may need a med adjustment or a new med added.I know he

loves us but sometimes that is just not enough. I have heard of a med

that they give alcoholics and they cannot drink wile takeing it or they

get really sick. Have you heard of this? Last night I was balling so

hard that today my eyes are still swollen. Im praying and putting it in

Gods hands,its all just too much right now. Thanks again n!

luv n hugz,

cassy
