:( :( :(

I'm so sorry it's so bad. I'd send you my walker if I could. I'm sure you've tried everything, but is there a chance you could advertise for one online or through local churches, hospitals, charity groups, and ... funeral parlours? I hate to say but I've heard that they often know of carts and wheelchairs which are no longer needed. Surely there is a good samaritan out there somewhere who can help you with assistive devices? Does your doctor know you are in desperate need? The fact you are an army vet and you are autistic might really attract people who would like to help.

thank you for caring :heart: as doc would say, "things are tough all over." he himself was dragging himself around on a cane because his back failed him. the crippled leading the crippled. i am a VA [Veteran's Administration] client and since trumpy packed VA management full of his sociopathic crooks service to vets has been basically frozen unless one is 100% disability-rated/agent orange exposure. they have priority. everybody else on 2+ year waiting list.

thank you :heart: the only reason i have not done a go-fund-me is that there are folks [vets] far worse off than me, and i'd be ashamed to impose.

I don't know how to do one, and I wouldn't do it without your consent, but that's a great idea. Yes there are folks far worse off. There are also folks far ... better off ... who ask for help if they need it. No one is forced to donate. Would you consider it if your sister were to help?

my sister just had her hubby pass away from C, so i will not impose on her. things ARE tough all over, at least in my neck of the woods.

I'm really sorry to hear that you don't have a better way to get around, and that acquiring something to help you is so hard. :(

I think if you could manage one it'd be a good idea to do a Go-Fund-Me. Like Isa said, there are people a lot better off who still ask for help on there, and people are happy enough to donate to them. What you need shouldn't be costly enough to be imposing much on anyone, either.

there is a place out here in sumner, WA [Mobility Systems] that helped my dad out but he got the benefit due to being 100% disabled vet, i lack the disability rating so no goodies from them for me. i am shopping around and willing to go into major debt for a new kinda folding electric scooter i could use. i will need to get a ramp built. details, details.
