Holiday Time PC Survival

“City sidewalks, busy sidewalks, dressed in holiday style” are not always the best thing for someone with painful PC feet, especially when the shopping lines are longer and the crowds are heavier.  Thus, the past few years, I have discovered the beauty of online shopping.  I am so busy in my ordinary life, along with the extra activities of Christmastime, that to have terrible sore feet from extra walking would probably put me over the edge.  I really don’t have time to have more blistering on top of my regular pain.

Fortunately, I can shop from the comfort of my own home computer, take all the time I want to pick and choose, and then always get free shipping and other online deals.  I love online shopping. It’s literally saved my feet.

When I do need to run errands that involve a lot of walking, I’ve found that my husband Dave or a good friend is kind enough to take me in the wheelchair. Then we go quickly and efficiently because we can go fast!

In the past, my feet have always hurt a lot more during the holiday season.  But now that I’ve set aside my pride and shopped in my wheelchair, and even more so, now that I’ve discovered online shopping, my feet are so much less sore at Christmastime. That way, I can save my feet for the good things – special activities and time with family and friends.

 I can enjoy the Christmas season whether or not I have sore feet.  My happiness is not dependent upon my pain level. But it sure is nice when my feet don’t hurt too much!
