Fsgs57 I'm not using my walker now using a cane. This to will be temporary. I'm still doing my exercises and getting stronger. The problem I have is, I'm not putting on weight. I have been eating big meals and monitoring my fluids. If anybody has any suggestions please let me know. I like to thank everyone who has gave me 🙏 and support.

It sounds like all your hard work and determination is paying off. It's great you have ditched the walker and moved on to the cane! If you have upped your exercise, perhaps you're not eating enough calories, despite having bigger meals?Do you have access to a dietician that could advise you? High calorie drinks are often prescribed here in the UK for people who struggle to gain weight. Maybe that would be an option for you?

I hope you continue to improve and get your weight issue sorted out.

Sending best wishes to you.
