I'm A Happy Camper With My New Walker-----Do You Have One?

[tortiecat]

I have a 4 wheel walker, which I refer to as my Cadillac, which is very handy for piling my groceries, etc. on.
Although it does fold, I find it to cumbersome to put in my car so I have a medal one, called a zimmer, two
wheels on front and two small sliders at back. I keep this in my car, and it serves it's purpose.

I had to use a walker for a while before and after my hips were replaced. I was happy to see it go after I got my nice new titanium hips! I gave it to someone in the neighborhood who needed it.

I've ended up with a standard walker and all since complications and instability from hip replacement in 2010..long story. I ended up with more knee issue, which caused more foot/ankle issues and just spent 4.5 months in hospital/rehabs for knee staph infection.

I have another friend who has done two hips and her walking days are behind her. She now uses a walker similar to Lon's....

Walker is 3rd and 4th legs.

For me, it's been a lifetime of dancing, exercising and now a walker. Not what I planned..often wonder IF I had not done the hip, where would I be.

Many have good outcomes and others...OH BOY.
