So, what is my condition like?

I can't really walk at all by myself. With a cane and help I can go about twenty steps.
I can stand myself without assistance for about two minutes.
With my cane I can stand for about three minutes.
I can do about ten sit to stands from my wheelchair [with cushion] in the bathroom.
I can stand on my right leg, but cannot lift it up.
I am not using a walker, I get around in a wheelchair
my right foot is swollen [and ugly] and I often wear a compression sock.
My feet, especially my right, are numb
My  feet, especially my right, are cold
I can only move my index finger on my right hand
I can only do the start of an arm curl with my right arm
I can only move my right arm by shifting my shoulder

As far as I can tell, my cognitive function and memory are still as good as ever.
