I am only one,

but I am one.

I cannot do everything

but I can do something

And I will not let what I cannot do

Interfere with what I can do

Hi to all, i wish you all a wonderful holiday season,

Winter has arrived in wisconsin, we have had snow or freezing rain almost every other day.  Due to my amputation i don't go out much for the fear of falling.  I know i no longer wear my prostetics i still fear falling and breaking my little leg which is weak.  I do get around in public by using the electric scooter (that a friend gave me because my insurance would not pay for one) or wheelchair.  But due to my shoulder problems i'm unable to lift the wheelchair, so i need someone to go out with me.  For me the winter is the hardest part of living in the midwest.  I dream of no snow and ice in the south.  someday that will come true.

I was wondering if there were others here who are afraid to go out in the snow and rain?  Is it because your afraid of falling?  Hurting yourself in falling?

I wonder if these questions are just my fears or are others like me.

Happy Hoidays, Pam
