Bless you for not giving up.
When I was diagnosed on 07, my blood sugar was off the chart. I thought I was going blind, I couldn't have read your post then.
I broke my back in 2 places in 02, but am not paralized. I also need a knee replacement, but haven't figured out to pay my co-pay and rehab cost on disability pay.
So, I totally understand how difficult and slw walking is, but giving up is NOT an option.
Stay strong and keep going forward.
