Learning How to Live With RA
I’ve always been a very active person, raising 3 of my own children, my eldest having serious development problems and epilepsy, plus fostering 4 more from one family, plus caring for my husband who has serious heart/diabetes, plus caring for my elderly infirm dad.
Anger, envy, and RA
Now to come to this, RA plus OA plus other health issues. Needing to use a walker indoors and w/chair when out.
I see people a lot older than me walking to the local shops, or walking to catch a bus and although I don’t mean to be, I feel so very envious and angry with myself that I can’t do those things.
I’ve been told that I need to see lack of mobility as a new way of living which I need to adjust to, and while that makes sense, it doesn’t stop those feelings of envy.
Thank you for listening, Maureen55!
