Congratulations on the award. Well done.
You have some time to decide what you want to do with your award, being housebound myself I understand your frustration at not being able to go out. You don't have to commit to a Mobility car, most areas have volunteer taxis for transport to your GP or hospital, you can take taxis for other trips and hiring a car for a week is not as expensive as you might think, so there are alternatives.
The only thing I would recommend is that when you do feel up to going out then do so. Take small steps, no pun intended and grab little victories where you can.
