Like MS thinks about the mayhem it creates. MS is a disease, it has no memory, do not personify it. (give it human attributes - can you tell I once taught this stuff?)

I've had my shares of falls - went from Canadian crutches to walker to chair, Had a PT who insisted on which brand, insisted I know how to use each before i needed and I had at the ready to use when need changed. Except chair, which was $$ and got when absolutely needed and it took too long really. Now I zoom in my chair, don't fall and can push heavy furniture with my chair. Would I rather walk? Of course. But the use of tools works for me. It gave me more freedom. When the falls happened too often, before I did permanent damge (I bled impressively twice, scared my kids a lot) used my tools.
