Dear Nikko,
It's hard (impossible) to make someone do what you want them to do.
BUT, you can insist that YOU will do what you want to do and she can learn to live with it.

The time it would take to get her and her 4 wheel walker in the car, just to ride down the street, would be too much, she wouldn't go in the store anyway.

This is good, arrange your day the way that you want to.

I am trying...............................the reason she has so many aches and pain is, she isn't doing her exercises, not moving enough. I guess I am at fault for that too, she likes to be served and I do it.

She would benefit hugely from moving around in the way that the therapist taught her to do her exercise. But I think in your case, it is not worth the effort to bug her. You have already tried and she has already ignored you.
You are doing the right thing.
Get someone to come in like Donna mentioned so that you can take off a few hours twice a week or so. This decision is up to you. It is not up to her.
You'll be fine.
