Feeling like a cripple [View all]

Lumbar stenosis, 6 falls, poor balance.

Walking short distances (100 feet) with a cane, longer distances with rollator or wheelchair.

Aches and pains that go with age 73.

Yesterday felt like things will not get any better.

Depressed. Guilty for depending on my wife to drive me everywhere and load the wheelchair in and out of the car.

Getting old lives up to its reputation.
