The walker got really slow and tough for me. It often didn't get me to bathroom on time.I can toilet myself still, get to the bathroom on time with no problems. (Twink - I have a fear of driving into toilet with this powerful chair and smashing the porcelin bowll, made me a better driver!!) I sat in Living room chair a lot. Then I got my Power chair. Now I have the good one home, the manual for night, the portable travel chair for malls, which I bought in stages. Wow!!!! Go places in house now I couldn't before. Zoom around outside. Now I can't walk at all and relish the freedom it gives me. I'm not so tired at the end of the day. I used to get exhausted. When it's time, it's time. Denying it just slows you down and limits you more. My favorite blog is Marc's (Who you might know from here and there) "Wheelchair Kamikaze". He is funny, honest and wonderful.

Nobody wants to be in a chair, but easing into it is not a sign of weakness, it's using a tool.
