Please snow, just go away.

I feel really trapped today. The snow is not going anywhere, and I cannot get my mobility scooter out. I`m not sure whether it would get through the snow on the ground which is several inches thick, and would I get it up my drive when it could be sliding about remains to be seen. The bins have been emptied today too, so they are the obstacles left in the way of my scooter at the edge of the pavement, or sometimes even in the middle. I also find that cars parked half on and half off the pavement are such a pain to get past, especially if you are met by an overgrown tree or bush at the other side in somebodys garden!
I am scared to go out incase I fall, I expect everyone will be saying "how pathetic" but I am frightened that I would fall over, and I know that if I did fall I would not be able to get up again! My knees are completely gone,I am unable to kneel, so quite how I would get to my feet I have no idea. I could also do myself some serious damage, my spine is so unstable that I have been told by doctors and physios at the back pain centre that if I had a fall I could easily paralyze myself so you can see my problem. I look through the window and wish I could go outside and join the world but the risks worry me. My problem is ofcourse that I am now fed up of staying in the house, I am going a bit stir crazy, Graham keeps clearing the driveway so I can get to the car but you don`t know how clear the paths are when you get to wherever you are going. He has now cleared the drive twice, and once again it is snowed over! Please snow, just go away, before I go mad!
