A knapsack or backpack can allow you to carry quite a bit while going to and fro. Elevator buttons and light switches can be pushed at a distance with a crutch tip. Grandchildren and small dogs don't mind sitting granddads that look into their faces and listen. Small kitchens and rolling chairs could be wonderful for a playful spirit. Grown children can pay you back many fold.
Medical insurance is worth it.
Good medical care and caring providers assist with the comfort of healing. Healing can be slower than desired. Some people will notice and hold elevators and doors for you. Most will pay no attention to you. Meet the world where it bends to you.
