Hello @Doglady and a big welcome to our online community. I'm glad you stumbled across us
Well, what a shock that must have been for you. I just can't imagine. Did you get a diagnosis?
Lots of our members have had similar experiences of becoming 'suddenly disabled' and it certainly takes some adjustment. I hope we can offer you support.
I think you'd enjoy our virtual coffee lounge where we like to have random chats and play games. Also, browsing our categories might bring you to a topic you can relate to. Feel free to jump into any conversations and get involved.
By the way, going by your name I'm guessing you either have a dog or like them! If you have one, what breed is it?
Talk soon and give me a shout if you need any help.
