So today I was at the small grocery store- one of the few places I can still walk into by myself. There is a bagboy there that always packs my bags for me, very light as he knows I can't lift anything remotely heavy. Then he walks out to my car with me and loads them in the backseat.
He is super nice, very concerned about my walking problems. But on numerous times he has said how sorry he is that this is the end of my walking days. I say, thanks, but I don't think of it like that, I am always hoping for it to get better. Sometimes he says, "well maybe you could get a Hover-round/Scooter". Once the check out lady heard him say this and I said," well, I want to keep on walking in here on my own", and she agreed.
He means well, I know, but sometimes I feel like screaming when he says it's the end of my walking days. I certainly don't need others to remind me of how bad my walking is. I try to keep a positive attitude, and most of all to keep some kind of independence too. I will NOT give in to this d--- disease. I walk with a cane, bad enough, and I wlll keep on walking with one, till it is utterly impossible! Hoping that part never comes. I do appreciate all the help he gives me, just not fond of his suggestions I guess.
