How to Travel Now, Health Issues
It’s been a long time, but I’m still here.
Life has thrown me some major curve balls the last couple of years. Last year, travel was not even an option. My health took a serious turn, but I’m fighting my way back. To sum it up, a little over a year ago, I hit bottom. I suddenly couldn’t get up from sitting, couldn’t walk, & spent most of the time in pain that I didn’t know if I could survive. Around a month prior to my leg / knee issues, the muscles in my shoulders & arms went downhill also. So, I didn’t even have upper body strength to assist dealing with my lower body problems.
I was a mess. I’ve spent every moment, fighting to get my health & mobility back; to get my life back.
Currently, I still have a long road ahead. Through all of this, I lost a lot of muscle. That has left me very weak in my legs & arms. I’ve progressed from laying in bed, to being able to get around the house in an electric power chair, to being able to walk with a walker for short distance in the house, and now occasionally taking some careful, steps on my own.
Yes, I have a way to go on recovery. But, I want my life back! I am trying to figure out ways to work around the mobility issues. I want to get back out in the world; on the road. I’m in serious need of a road trip!
I always traveled in a mini van. Not sure that will work for me at this point. I’ve been reading up on campervans & small Class C motorhomes. Too bad these things are so expensive.
I’m not sure how, but my heart is set on getting on the road & enjoying life. If I can figure things out, I will share it with you.
Until then, I hope all of you will get out there & enjoy some road trips for me!
