Don't think of it giving in, I think of it as being smart and planning ahead, otherwise it can look like stubbornness and not being smart. I had crutches ready, a walker ready and a manual wheelchair ready before needed. I had what I needed before I needed it, saved and spread cost out that insurance disn't cover. . Of course I hoped I'd never need, but I did. Would gladly eat cost not to need, but glad I had. Waited too long for power chair, regret that, think permanent damage done to sciatic nerve which could have been avoided, lost time and effort using walker to use bathroom, etc. I'm not crazy about being in a chair, but no longer fall or not make it on time as I awkwardly and S..l..O..W..L..Y walked to bathroom. Now I don't fall, zoom to bathroom, go places in house and property I hadn't been to in years! These are tools, who are you hurting besides yourself by not using? I can only decorate Christmas tree on bottom 2/3rds from Chair, but could not reach out with breakable/ delicate ornaments at all last year!!!!!
