i'm an assistant store manager for a big box retailer. Unlike many with such a title...where I work I have to do a lot of the physical work myself and the areas that I am in charge of involve heavy things (toys, vaccuums, kitchen electrics, etc). Thank goodness I have the walker...don't think it would be even remotely possible for me to do a fraction of the things I do without it. It took a good month or so after getting back to work to figure out how to adjust HOW I do things at my job to fit my new limitations. I may need to do things differently now...but I still have to get it all done. There are still a few things that are pretty awkward for me with the walker...but I have gotten used to most of them. I still get upset by the few things I CAN'T do...but such is life and I just have to get used to asking for help with the random things that are just too much. And to be honest...most of those are things I never should have been doing even when I was healthy...I'm just very stubborn and independent.
