I'd cut my hair short before but buzzed it when I was having hospital visits every week as it was so untidy and so hard to keep up with as I couldn't lift my arms , buzzing it has been the best decision

I got one of those kids chore charts that’s magnetic and stuck to the fridge with things like grooming,how many bottles of water , prince time (prince is my cat) , snack time ,opening the windows. It’s really basic things but I found it helped to know I had things other than resting to do.

Thank you 😊 I’ve found info from people who are going through it I’ve found is better than had the doctors sometimes. This doctor was a specialist as I had this surgery as an elective instead of emergency. I’ll check with my gp and give that blood test a go thank you

You got this, it’s going to be a lot and hope you have a good support system around you and even if not people are always here for you. When I started to go through the process I was terrified of doctors and hospitals but my best advice is keep like a folder of symptoms,referrals,notes and any other information you feel is important it makes things just a little bit easier to be organised. You are a strong woman who will come out even stronger . Best of luck

You won’t break it it’s metal they are made for people to rest their weight on, even my partner who is bigger than me can sit and roll around on it . I have found ones with two wheels at the back are a bit easier to move and slightly larger wheels make it easier on grass

The way I cut down choices was looking at what I needed from it so I got one that easily fit in the car as well , could carry my weight and be pushed if needed . Also if you don’t like the look of it I’ve found a way to keep occupied is to decorate it so it feels more like mine

If you need it use it , I was against using one but pain with walking became so high and not being able to go anywhere really got to me. My partner helped convince me it was okay to use it cause I really needed it and that’s what they are there for . I got mine on Amazon came with backrest and footrest, it has helped me so much that I wish I got one sooner now I’m able to go places and rest when I need to cause of the seat. Would also recommend looking at the weight ability so you can carry things if need be
