About three weeks ago we received my new walker. Prior to delivery, I positioned it as a “game-changer” for me in terms of walking. Where we live in Houston now is walking distance or minutes away from every major museum in Houston and Hermann Park. With just my cane and by myself I am not able to walk to these places. I tried but the unevenness of the sidewalks was a non-starter. The proximity to all this culture and my immobility was eating away at me. I commented to Bob that when I’m at the grocery store and pushing the shopping cart, my mobility is better. Couldn’t we try and “mirror” this experience? Bob was on it and found an “off-road” type walker, which is a game-changer. It has three big wheels off-road suspension, a brake for going down hills, a seat if get tired, and a basket for carrying stuff. It folds up for ease of traveling. The walker allows me the freedom to walk to the museums that surround me. I call her velvet
Wave to me when you drive by, I will be walking.
