Hi Sally, The kind of walker I'm talking about is the one that everyone seems to refer to as a 'rollator'. It has the wheels and a seat and also a little wire basket (at least mine does). It is just do darn handy. I am just not able to manoeuver in many people or on my own for too long with just the cane. I stop and put my hand on things all the time. I was asked one time by the fellow at the hospital who was fitting me for wheelchair (which I don't need now - except occasionally) if I was walking like 'Spiderwoman' at home. I was. He was just teasing but it was an apt description. Maybe you should consider a new walker with wheels and seat etc for those 'not so good days'. Hawaii, is that where you live? Never been there but I'm sure the plants in your garden are very lush compared to what we can grow here in dry Calgary.

Hi Heather, I got rid of my walker as I haven't used it in so long (and it didn't have a seat anyway). At times I've been so much better, I didn't even need the cane. But recently (again!) I feel like I've regressed! I even thought about it (the old walker) in the back yard today, when I went out to check my plants! And you do make a good point - about being able to look up and talk to people! As it is (unless it's a really good day) I'll stop and maybe even put my hand on something to be sure I'm stable, before I look up and answer, if someone talks to me while I'm walking.
