My health has crumbled to the point that I use a walker every single day and am needing to get a wheelchair for when I go out. And I am only 42! How do I learn to function in the world in a wheelchair? Especially when its for crippling pain and not because I cant actually walk. So frustrating to feel to disabled for some stuff but not disabled enough for others.
