I have a cane I haven't had to use in several years (knock on wood) but when I needed assistance, a walker with a seat would have helped me out so much more.

If I get to that point again, I'll likely get a motorized scooter because when I do need assistance, I need it in a really bad way.

I used to be envious of those with power chairs when my walking was bad because walking took so much out of me, and I felt like I would have been better off if I could have sat down and saved energy for all of my other tasks.

I hope this will be temporary but if not, you know that there's a wide variety of tools to help you out there.
