We learned that putting tennis balls on the feet (front ones) that the walker will slide better. Not sure if you want that....
ReplyDeleteA family friend tied a bulb horn to hers.
ellroon, a slider is not what I'm after... pity; I really like the look of tennis balls on a walker. :)
ReplyDeleteThis one meets my criteria:
*must fit through all household doors (it does, though there are some I have to go through sideways),
* must fold for transit (this one has two modes, a simple fold of the sides into the center, and a super-compact mode presumably for travel),
* must be light enough for my weak arms (sigh),
* must be very steady (it is, except on the most sloping parts of our old hardwood floors).
Ranger is just about right for me. Now all I have to do is get used to using it.
Ugh, sorry about that! Hope you get used to it quickly! I also hope you were trained in it's use. I recall my father never using it properly -- always having it in front of him and forgetting to step inside it.
ReplyDeleteMad, thanks for the instructions. It took me a couple of tries to stop using it like crutches and to stop taking up too much weight on my arms. I used a borrowed walker for a while, a wheeled walker with a built-in seat in case you were as easily fatigued as I am, so I had a tiny bit of training with that... but it was too wide for the doors in this ancient house. This one is a pretty good compromise. No tennis balls, though! (Did you know one can buy pre-slitted tennis balls specifically for walker use?)
