thanks for the warm welcome.
You could say my leg is distracting but it can be entertaining. My son's best friend (more like a brother) and as I refer to him as my "gooson" has a little boy (my Grandgooson) he is going on 2 and he loves going for a pony ride on my leg LOL. I shed tears of flustration and pain from time to time but mostly I just ignore it. Coming up with new means of employment if I lose my job from not being able to get there because of it cramping up and having to take the Valium is fun too. One of my best friends at work suggested I go to work in a winery stomping grapes, another become a professional hokey pokey dancer. You have to laugh at it and after bringing home the walker, which I got cheap from Wallgreens here it was on sale and it is BRIGHT RED, 40.00 less than the plain silver ones. If something is going to live in the house it has to have a name..so had a vote out to my firends to come up with names. "Johnny Walker Red" won, you may have heard of his cousins Jim Beam and Jack!! After the name was picked finally my son came up with the idea we should have put a big star on the front of and put Texas on one of the front legs and Ranger on the other (Walker Texas Ranger). Told him wow what woman wouldnt want to be helped around by Chuck Norris LOl.
An idea that some may want to copy is that he took one of his National Guard backpacks undid the the waist strap and put it on the front of the walker. I use the bottom pocket for my meds, the front pocket is now my purse, one side has a big long pocket great for carrying a water bottle and then the two on the other for smaller stuff. The big main area is great for shopping and it even has a cellphone case on the shoulder strap.
