Don't feel bad. I'm 63 right now, and that 80+yr old man probably walks better than I do right now. I'm having a rough day, and this sucks. I was paying attention earlier to how I was moving, and I couldn't believe my motions -- I had to consciously change the way I was moving my arms and push my shoulders back, cause I tend to have my back bent when I walk. My God, I look like i should be put in a HOME.
On good days I'm fine -- but this is ridiculous. People must think Im ready to go at any time!! Sometimes I AM ready to go, but others I'm not.
Being a spiney and a chronic painer is the pits. The emotions really screw with you, don't they? Take care & God bless. Hugs, Lee
