I will tackle this comment. Due to the issues with my legs, while i am not 'technically' bed ridden, moving about has become a much greater challenge. Requiring two crutches makes getting my dinner more difficult. It makes going to the bathroom more difficult. It makes walking up and down the small stairs of my house difficult. Getting in and out of my car is a pain. And knowing that the more i walk on my legs the faster i am ruining them is always a thought i have, even when i go to the bathroom. So while i am able to get about, it has become such a chore that it is something i do as little as possible now. I'm not looking forward to needing both hips replaced, after all.
