First off..I'm still undiagnosed with anything other than being about 9 sizes smaller than 4 yrs ago. I was about 160 lbs then so...
Anyways.. I wonder if anyone has this problem. My doc has sent me to a whole host of specialists on various occasions and they're all located deep within the bowels of this monstrosity of a hospital. If you live in Dallas you might know of the 'hospital district' but to get there i have to cross a busy highway then make it to the front door. This is close to 2 blocks IF I find a parking space close by.. Once inside the front door it's another block to the elevators. Up to 3 blocks now.. Then another block or two to the offices IF I can even find them which I usually can't.
The problem I have is it's a long walk with my cane from the house to the car. I have to walk around the house to get to it. By the time I get to it my ankles are toast and I collapse into the drivers seat and have to recover from that alone.
I have nobody to help so I'm on my own with this. We have a wheel chair, but the damned thing is now to heavy for me to lift much less wheel 4 blocks up and down curbs and around people and whatever else is in the way.. So...Any suggestions?
