Hello, everone,
I have not been able to use my fingers so have not written in ever so long.
I hope to be able to write frequently as I did before.
MY doctor thinks I should be a rolator. He says it would help me walk more.
Does anyone know what to look for? Some have 8" front wheels, some have 10" ones. I tried one in a local shop with 8" wheels as it felt too light
to support me.The arms were so low that I had to stop to hold them, even after they were adjusted .
Please everyone stay safe.
