How do you know they don't deal with the same pain levels? Even talking to them about pain, it would be hard to compare because a lot depends on attitude.
They, being older and their pain level increasing over a longer time line, gives them a chance to build a tolerance and acceptance. They probably have a much more modest view of their expected mobility, complacency if you will.
You, however, have apparently had an accelerated increase in pain, plus you have things you want to do, places you want to go. That makes it much harder on you because it's a much bigger obstacle to the life you've been used to.

Winners on Wheels... again, I'm going to call, but I suspect that it is not about dealing with illness and pain but specific to dealing with being in a chair and one event that put them there.

You may be right but it's worth a shot. They maybe open to discussion on anything and I sure they've all had to deal with being overwhelmed at some point.
Good luck in finding the support you're looking for and remember you've still got us.
