Getting Around on my Own

Every since I was hit by a drunk driver last year, I have had mobility problems. It has been a tough thing for me to get used to since I used to be active in sports, jog everyday, and pride myself on my self reliance. But everything changed when I was hit by the drunk driver, and now I face a different reality.
You see, I am confined to a wheelchair most of the time, though I can walk short distances with my canes. This has meant that I have had to modify my home quite a bit so that I can still live here. I have had to add a stair lift so that I can get into my home, and a lift chair so that I can sit in the living room to watch television.
I have been very fortunate that my friends and family have helped me to adjust to my new life, and there have been nights where I have stayed up all night and cried. It is hard to give up your old ways when you never planned to, and it has been tough.
But with the modifications to my home, at least I can get around on my own. Sure, I can’t do everything I used to, but since I can take care of myself, I can live with it.
