I do need a place to sit and rest at times so the walker with the seat will be nice.

I am not sure my mom realizes that just because you need a walker at one time does not mean you'll always need it.

But then again no one knows for sure. My mom means well. She is worried and does not know how to handle this.

Sounds like you have some family/friends that are worried more then MS educated. I've said this before to others you just should let anyone tell you what you should or shouldn't do because of MS. Thats a decsion(sp) that you and you alone should make. Instead try and educate said folks....
