This is going to sound like a very drastic thought - but if it truly came down to the chair, have you thought about, discussed, etc. amputation?  A prosthetic would allow you better mobility and leave you with more independence than a chair.  I don't put that thought out there lightly, nor am I saying it is a solution for everyone, but it is one option and I think in a situation such as yours considering ALL the options is important.

I was thinking the exact same thing mare but was not sure how to suggest it. You have worded it very well. We had a friend who had terrible trouble with his foot/lower leg due to diabetes. They tried for many years to save the foot with very little progress and much pain and suffering. In the end he had it amputated and a prosthetic fitted. After the initial op and recovery period you would not even know he had a prosthetic. Back to work full time with no pain. Wished he had the op at the very beginning.

oh snap Sally that looks good

My apple pie is in the kitchen. Calling my name. Lol

I started a few posts and deleted them because I wasn't sure how to suggest such a thing - but it is a conversation I had with my own mother after an injury to her ankle left her considering options, including this one. Fortunately, at this point it looks like her recovery is progressing such that it wont be necessary after all, but it is something we talked about at length.

My friend Robert is on lyrca 1200 mg a day and I/we do see some side effects. Posting something I think is one of the most beautiful performances I have ever seen.


Enjoy
