Is it normal to want a wheelchair
So I had an episode a month and a half ago, I collapsed at the grocer due to chest pain. So I would normally never think to go the hospital but since I had a new injury known for forming clots I was like god dammnit. I went they said I was fine, but I had another episode in the waiting and I was so much pain generally cause of legs I didn't want to stay. They wanted me to wait 4 hours in case it was a false negative, but I took the risk considering my history and went home. I am still alive now so it was ok.
I stopped biking out of that situation to decrease the pressure going into my legs to prevent said issue from happening till I received surgery. As a result I had to start using a cane but if I walk every day I can only ever go an 8 minute walk every 30 mins and I can only last an hour total. Any more then this I can't stand any longer I am finished.
Other issues have since developed as I hadn't walked in over 6 months as I couldn't so I biked. And I've had a lot complications leaving my muscles atrophied in one leg, the other leg one of my core muscles is strained right out. However if I don't walk for 5 days I can make it an 8 minute walk without a cane but not make it back.
Now too the point you needed the numbers and history for this. If I receive surgery on my leg preventing me from biking and I would be able to walk normally again with the other condition doing far walks like 20 mins, and 20 mins back after short rest. Any more I would need a cane or to be safe a wheel chair (if it was like all day walk-a-thon like hanging out at the mall or in town with friends for 8 hours where you're never sitting except for lunch) so I don't relapse the issue after surgery. But other wise I could do every thing normally, I never did sports but I could still swim, walk, dance, do chores like I have all ways done.
Now the major surgery I receive would put me out for 6 months, but I would be able to walk long distances without a wheel chair but would need a cane just in case as I rehabilitate and even after that due to other medical conditions being on a lifetime basis.
So my question is, is it normal to rather a wheelchair over receiving the major surgery as for me it would add no value to my life except in the rare conditions I am out all day as I stated earlier which rare and I can still walk enough if the wheel chair doesn't go where we're walking that little bit. And it could all so pose risk of the issue relapsing as I have impulsive tendencies and it would create a sense of false security for myself. I will never be able to jog, or run again any ways and with it I would think I could and that just seems cruel to me. I can even jump without the surgery when I stay off my legs, do squats normally and be able to feel my limits without having it just rupture again.
Thanks for listening, I know it was long.
P.S.
I have not mentioned any conditions are they are not relevant (and there is like 11 of them). I have documented the benefits of each choice and I just want your opinion. I am going to need a wheel chair regardless for the time being but what about just keeping it.
