No doubt you'll continue to exercise your leg muscles even if you must use wheels to get around. Keep smiling.......

I need to get on with recording my voice before I leave it too late

I'm thinking about getting a wheelchair so I can go on holiday in the UK and go for days out with my partner. I have had sca 48 since 2005, so it's probably time. I do currently use a walker if I'm going any distance on my own. I know it's just getting my head around it, but I know I'll be thinking why didn't I do it sooner?Anyway, take care and be safe...
