my mom had one for a few years but then her vision improved a bit so she didn't renew it- but dad has a bad back & PD so at some point they will get one again.
most people are helpful , but always some lemons in the bunch.
Do you have a med for break thru pain?

Hi Jo*mar,
You know, I was debatin whether or not to talk to my Dr.about it but I decided that I didn't think I needed it. I mean I do have difficulty walking right now but I can do it slowly. I just don't want to get it and there's another person way worse than me who needs it. I don't know maybe I'm still in denial or something but I just keep telling myself that I'm okay.lol
my dr suggested a cane and possibly a wheelchair but that sounded kinda funny to me. I told him that if he did give me either of them they would have to be blinged out cuz I wasn't gonna roll around in the standard stock model lol! I'm thinking the cane is my best bet-I do need something to put my weight on and my husband isn't always there with me.
Btw what do you mean by meds for breakthru pain? I went on Monday to see what/why my leg was being that way an he put me on Gabapentin which I think is neurontin and oxycontin for pain. That thing kicked my butt and I don't like it!
