I was hoping that I'd be walking now, but since I shattered my hip. It may never happen.
At least you can still sew!! LOL I would be intimidated for sure trying to fly if I couldn't walk. But a lot of people live in w/cs and do just fine. I know they make provisions for w/cs but there are times when I so would love to be an inspector and file reports on places that say they are handicap accesible but they aren't. Their idea of handicap accessible is a parking space. Never mind the heavy door you can't get through on the building. DH is in a w/c but he can walk at times. He loses the use of his limbs with no warning but he is able to walk part of the time. It just depends.
