Guest guest Posted May 31, 2004 Report Share Posted May 31, 2004 I saw my mito doc in April and she was surprised at the rate of my deterioration, including my walking. However she did not mention a wheelchair or scooter, etc. Tomorrow I go for a 24 hour EEG and Thurs, I meet with the doc who evaluated my earlier sleep study. I do no see her until October. To be honest....I have good days and bad days but the bad days are definitely more frequent. For many reasons, I am hesitant to push the difficulty walking thing. I have a 10 year old boy who would be devistated. I have a cane and a HUGO walker and he is quite embarassed when I use them. I also have to revisit the orthopedic doc who supposedly drained a huge cyst on my left knee. Although I followed his directions to the T, the cyst reappeared with a vegence. I am going to request another doc in the practice as the first doc had no bedside manner and was quite rude. How did each of you who are using assistive transportation come to that decision? Does your doc bring it up? When I go grocery shopping using a traditional cart, it takes me two hours plus and a day to recover. Any suggestions would be welcome! Thanks!
