I always liked to window shop and liked going to the grocery store but I can't anymore, unless it's to pick something up quickly. It's difficult and painful to walk for long periods or to stand for long periods.

Being able to shop Amazon, and now get groceries delivered to the house has saved me a great deal of pain and agony.

I imagine there are thousands if not millions of people like me.
