I know what your doc means about how easy it would be to give up on the walking if there were an easier alternative. That's why I am so adamently against using electric carts or wheelchairs unless I absolutely have to use them in a store or something. I'll work as hard as I have to in order to keep walking. Even if that means this old lady walker right now...lol! I WILL get better. I just keep focused on that. The visit with family and my "play time" with Daniel just re-energized my focus on that. That little boy really is very special and even though I never want kids myself he has given me the courage I need to keep pushing for that normalcy.
