one of the hardest things for me was how much weight I put on from being immobile. I blew up like a balloon and it was really hard because I am so body conscious to see myself get so out of shape. I also remember trying to cross the road once and having a driver beep their horn for me to hurry up but I couldn't and all I wanted was to get back to my car so I could be at the same speed as everyone else. My silver lining is that I am very kind to slow people crossing the road now and always give them a smile and a wave so they know they can take their time if they need to. As rouge says you need both physical and emotional support and you will get through this, but please don't push yourself and cut back on absolutely everything you can.
