Anyone Else Out There?

Hello all, Unfortunately for me, I have made BAD progress with my legs.  They are worse now than they ever were before.  My neurologist sent me to PT and she gave me a cane that I am not ALLOWED to use according to my family.  I know that they love me but you'd think that they'd want me to use things that make me better.  I am only allowed to use it when I leave my house with my boyfriend.  I am now getting a walker because I am getting more fatigued than I was before when trying to walk around when I shop.  I was just wondering if anyone else has a family as un-supportive as mine.
