22 Apr 2023 the upright walker

G'day ms family. Good news. It has been resolved. I bit the bullet and bought the walker from our family disability store, and it is a red one as well so it will go faster. By the way, it is not my store, it is the store where we buy everything disability from. I can not wait to use it when summer is over, I do not think I am brave enough to go walking in the park alone at 0400. I am not quite that silly.

I missed her name but there is a newby, I think 3 months in. Good luck to YOU. Take your Disease Modifying Therapy (DMT). Sorry to say, but there is NO cure no matter what people say, but this is a VERY liveable disease. Just take things slowly and think about what YOU are doing. Again GOOD LUCK.

Everybody else, stay well and chin up.

Royce

I can see that having to buy a walker has caused you a great deal of stress. How are you going to prepare for a wheelchair? COWBOY UP!

Royce, I love my upright walker. I'm curious to know why a red one goes faster than every other one. I always thought it was the person walking who made it go faster or slower not the color of the Walker! Fancy59.

Tut Tut, I am sorry I thought everybody know anything red goes faster regardless of operator, it is just one of those things. Red goes faster.
