These Last Few Months Have Been A Bear. So We All Know When Enough Is Enough. Well I’ve Come To That Point Now. I’m Setting My Sights Now

to look into the molibity on wheels now. Do to the way I’ve felt . The fact is the energy isn’t there plus I can’t get myself to get past of having an episode hit me or my balance go out on me unexpectedly. Who agrees with this? I need to look out for myself at my age now my gut keeps telling me to go with the wheelchair.

Quinn, I really believe that it is time for you to get your wheelchair. You have had mobility and balance problems for awhile now. You would not have to worry about these issues with a chair. And I think you would feel much safer.

To me everyone is different so everyone can only handle so much on things in life if you believe this is the better way for you than do it but for me I've been beaten up and pushed around since I was born so there's no way I'm just gonna allow this epilepsy to win and beat me on making me be in the wheelchair I plan to fight till it kills me in the end. I know my life is tied by a string like a puppet so it could happen anytime but I refuse to allow it to push me around just like others have.

I would go with the wheel chair for all the reasons that you mentioned. I think you do need to take care of yourself.

Marilee , Truth be known It’s past time for me to consider this. I’ve broken down in tears several times I’ve lost count do to symptoms I keep experiencing. The safest thing for me to do is to contact my doctor and say enough is enough send a referral to who ever to get me fitted for the right wheelchair for my daily usage . My body can’t take this any longer.
