Many people take for granted the ability to do every day activities. Going out on the town is something most people just "do". People with Cushing's, however, do not have this luxury. We have to plan for every part of our day. The planning alone can sap your energy with what this disease does to ones mind.
Take a trip to the mall, for instance. Just park and go in, right? Not for us. First you have to figure out which way is the right direction to go, then remember it. Then, comes the hard part: finding a close enough place that you won't be TOO tired or TOO out of breath to do your errands. As usual, I dropped the misses off as close as possiable. But after having to park way out, I really wish I had a handycap plaquard. It's harder for the misses to do the walk, but after seeing this sight, I really can't wait for tha diagnosis. This summer, I can forget about walking this in the 110° heat...
