A Walker Has Its Limitations

No fun using a "walker" believe me Need assistance with every small task Constantly asking for help Puts a big burden on family members If I could revert to my "pre-walker" days A blessing it surely would be Those jovial carefree days of my youth Was a joy to be happiness bound Then reality is in we're only here once Life is just a one-act play So make the most of it while we exist A heavenly land awaits

Gosh, and I thought that this might be about 'Johnny Walker,' which also has its limitations. LOL

Thanks, Jack... Perhaps a revised version of the old 'Walkie-Talkie' is in order. Something like a 'Walker-Talker.' Wutcha think?! Grins

Yes my friend a heavenly land awaits for those that believe and trust in Jesus. I hope to see you there Jack, someday. You are a friend I would want to have all of my life... I am sorry you struggle somewhat in walking. As we get older we deteriorate somewhat. I suffer from EHS sensitivity electrical that is can't be around electrical devices too long even the computer my skin feels like it starts to give me a sunburn sensation have had it for a year and it has changed my life around. God bless.

Be happy my friend, tisn't nearly the end. Ok so you cant take the escalator.... but at least you don't need a respirator,, as your feet shuffle and shift...you can always take the lift. (elevator). You cant use a walker with a supermarket trolley, But using the trolley as a walker proves rather jolly. Best Wishes.. Wendy.

I'm nearing the end of mine! Just when I was starting to really enjoy things! Oh well Act Two just has to be better! Maybe we'll all start out as rich as hell and work backwards!!!
