The most trouble I have, and one of the areas I need prayers for, is physical exertion. My mobile home is carpeted except for the little kitchen and pantry, so the knee walker is slow-going, which isn't a bad thing, but it does take a bit more pushing. Backing up to a chair before I can sit down is very tricky - I must be careful to not "squish" my foot between the knee-walker and the chair, then do a balancing act transferring to the chair, being careful to get my nether parts safely on board.
The other area is my outside ramp which I expected to be a breeze. Well, it is, in a way. This walker just SAILS down that thing. I had to grab the side railings of the long ramp and hold on tight and guide the knee-walker with my knee. My middle-aged nephew wondered why I wasn't using the hand-brake and sort of "pumping" it like when you ride a bike. Well, sheesh, this dumb bunny, at 71, has NEVER ridden a bike! I'm gonna try it again, with a big burly dude in front of me, of course, and see if I can get the hang of it.
Hugs and prayers to you all.
