made my day

Today, my morning walk at the mall was torture. Every thing I broke in my accident 5 years ago was quite painful today- my right leg and hip, my right side ribs, and my left ankle. Using my walker, I can do about a half mile around the mall. Yesterday, one of the other walkers approached me and thanked me, saying I was an inspiration for all the others to keep going. I've never been told I am an inspiration before, and than made this morning bearable.

How wonderful that somebody actually came up and told you that! I am sure others must have thought it, but were hesitant to say anything. I'll bet it gave you a much needed shot of energy. Good for you, you definitely ARE an inspiration, even to those of us who haven't met you.

Good for you sir. Keep it up !!! :B I have a Jazzy Power Chair. :o look here It sit's in my living room in the corner. The man that delivered it when I first became disabled had to dismantle it. Then he put it back together where it sits. Best catch all I have ever owned. :h
Being as I can't get it in or out of my condo, I do not use it. I have a cane and I also have a walker that is more of a PIA trying to get it in and out of my P/U. Look
here also If I go somewhere that I have to do a lot of walking I get it out, but other wise I use my cane.

Again good luck and congratulations.

richardwise sounds like you are doing great, hang in there!!!

Hang in there and keep living. You are an inspiration because you haven't given up.

6 or 7 years back I had to use a handicap scooter to go anywhere, today I can walk a couple miles. Hang in there. We can do great things and help others at it.

A compliment can go a long way. You obviously deserved it. Keep up the good work.
