Good luck... I'd like to move to a small Canadian prairie city (200,000) and I'm not even up to that...

sorry your comute is so tough. What will happen when you replase again?

I'm sorry. I just hate NYC and couldn't imagine working there!

Sorry you are struggling so much & are trying to walk fast too. That wouldnt help.
I stopped struggling with walking to work with stick then walker & use a scooter, can keep up better pace & it makes major difference to fatigue levels. At work I use a walker now but if you can get around with out it, do so.
When I started using a scooter to get to work, I parked it at work & walked during the day. Might be a scary thought (scooter) but have to look after yourself in any way you can.
Take care of yourself.

You will get run over. I had to use a cane on the summer for 2 months...you would think people would give up a seat on the subway or bus..HELL NO! The one day I sat on the floor of the subway train with my cane...only then someone got up! I feel your pain.

I lived in NJ for a while and commuted to ny from NJ transit. I couldn't handle it. So I just moved back to brooklyn.

Stay well and God bless.
