If I left my glasses behind, I would literally be able to do nothing. I have hearing aids as well now and I can’t manage without them, but I’d rather have them. And I guess your dilemma is the difference between my glasses and my hearing aids.
I totally get this. My cat is such a pain in the ass. There’s never in a place to put it. Sometimes I bring it with me and don’t need it, but I still have to carry it. But, like you said, it gives that margin of error that can make all the difference
Yes! My stick is mostly with me, but it's usually when I forget it that I need it because I am so disorganised. My scooter/wheelchairs are great, but need lugging about and setting up. It's all such a nightmare when you are tired anyway.
Mobility aids come in all shapes and sizes, for all of us. My sister-in-law is living with CFS and is in bed much of the time. She once described the disappointment of being unable to make a cup of tea after getting up as the kettle was too heavy to lift. Her daughter then bought her a push-button hot water machine and making tea was less effort, but the boost of knowing she could do it was invaluable.
