Hi Ann, How about you invest in a “Rollater” rather than a wheelchair,this way youd still be walking but get supported whilst doing so and if you buy the type with a seat you could easily stop and rest for a bit before getting up to walk again! Or maybe another idea would be to invest in a “mobility scooter” there are many different types available depending on needs and again you could still walk when possible etc.. etc…
Using a wheelchair regularly could in fact add to your problems then in turn making you more n more dependant on one.I suggest you talk to your spinal consultant or whoever is in charge of your care and see what they think Ann. Take care,and keep us posted Love Demi x
