She will soon leave me. I am going to give her away to some who needs her.

Some day you or someone you know may use a walker!

For me, it’s a balance issue. My brain got whacked out from a stroke. This walker faze is a temporary thing. I have been hitting the treadmill, and it’s working!

Walkers are a tool to help a person while they heal.

So don’t freak out. 👍👍 It’s a good thing, RIGHT?

Below was my first walker. The hospital gave it to me.

When I had my stroke, yes, the hospital gave me this. It kind of makes sense. I mean if you break a leg, does the hospital give you crutches? Of course, they do.

I had a cute bag hanging on the old walker.

I once cleaned it out and found some cheese I had stashed and forgotten about. Luckily the bag was washable!

I finally upgraded to a walker with 4 wheels.
