It's like they're milestones on the way downhill, with the chair waiting at the bottom.
One of the great things has been coming here and chatting with all the people I've met and just having a nice time laughing and joking, as well as all that I've learned in the forums.
It's nice to have others that I can relate to in so many ways. :twocents: Kuu
I appreciate the depresstion you are going through, but being that way will only make it that harder to accept.
In my case I didn't have a chance to make plans, it just happened out of no where.

I would get a chair and get comfortable using it before I had too.

Depresstion is a bitch and will destroy you...
After my stroke, it took me almost five years to even look at a wheelchair.

You hang tight, and before you let things happen, make them happen in your time :thumbsup:
