Coping with osteoarthritis when you have young kids

Hello! It's my first post as I found out this week that I have osteoarthritis in my foot. I'm 37 and have 3 young children (oldest 4.5 years and youngest 15 months). I am currently going through a range of emotions whilst I process my diagnosis. One of my big fears is that I won't be able to maintain mobility and therefore will not be able to do certain activities with my kids. I appreciate everyone is affected differently by arthritis but I was just wondering if there were any parents out there with young children who are in a similar boat and how they are coming to terms with their condition?
