I know one thing, your husband is going to be sorry if you fall and break a hip.

Did you know that women are more likely to break a hip in a fall than a man is? It has to do with how wide apart or pelvic bones are.
Good grief, if you need a scooter or a power chair then you should have one.
I don't want to be mean but, what if he were in your boat? Then how would he think. If you have a scooter, just think, he would not have to push you in a wheelchair if you can no longer walk.
I can't walk any where and I hate it, however, my husband pushes my transporter chair or he assembles my scooter and gets it out of the trunk of the car.
Good luck. I have fallen so many times that I would not want to see anyone have to break something in order to prove a point.
