G'day Relapsing-Remitting ms family, and so everybody is included the rest of our family. I do not want to leave anybody out. The big news, I finally gave in. I admitted that I need an assistive device, so last night I ordered a red stand-up walker. Red of course because they go faster and everybody knows that. It will match my tree wheel scooter so the colours match. It was a challenge admitting that I need help but I guess this is mine and our reality. No matter how positive and upbeat we may be, this is a progressive degenerative disease. Nobody that I know has stopped it 100 percent so progression is what we have in store for us. Some slower some faster. I am glad to be slower and I have to keep it that way the best that I can. That is life with RRms. Do not ever give up when life goes sideways. Look for another way to live your life the best that it can be. Always strive to live your best, your happiest, the most worthwhile that YOU can make it.

I wonder how I can jazz up my walker. Any suggestions?

you have a good day!

Red is faster😂. I got a red stand up one and a blue regular one. The standup is better imo. It really is faster! Now I have to repaint cause I chipped some paint off by crashing into the walls on the turns 😂

I was going to suggest helium balloons, a flag, and a "turtle crossing" sign, but nothing's going to beat Falalalala's suggestion. I love it!

I think I would add a red bicycle horn. You’ll be getting around faster once you get used to it!

Good for you. And is there any other color than red, of course not, it's my favorite & red is the fastest!

Mine is a dark red, too. I would have preferred green for my school (MSU), but at least its not blue (U of M)

Don't bother with boring old red - buy some vinyl car wrap stuff in a loud and colourful pattern and make it totally yours.

now that is not a bad idea, I did like the kilt. Maybe that will be a plan.
