Your situation is similar to mine & you should be making some preparation to allow for it.
I have managed to ignore the discomfort in my feet most of the time.
I try to avoid wearing any kind of footware. I have several pairs of slipersocks which I wear most of the time.
I still have my drivers license, but let my wife do all the driving.
If I do have to drive it's barefoot so I can feel the pedals.
My hands are the greatest issue now.
Simple things like writing, eating & performing ablutions become difficult.
All this means I’ve had to give up any form of work, I certainly wouldn’t employ me.
I have been bludging on my wife for the last five years until my super kicked in at 65
I still manage to do all the cooking & baking. If I take my time I can still do most things.
The family are amused by some of the things I modified around the house to make it all work.
