I am so sorry that you have been falling. This is terrible for you.
Any chance you could get/use a walker? bizi

in the apartment definitely not because there is not enough space where I fall.
I need to go outside with somebody to see what it is like. I have never done it alone and I am wary. |

maybe when richard comes back you can ask him to assist you out side, only if you are willing to try to do that, of course.
Everything there should be handicap accessible. He could also work with you on using the walker with a curb if you have to navigate that, but you should not if you use the walk lights. Perhaps I am being premature. Are you off balance? Is that why you are falling? I am sorry that you are having these falls. ((((((HUGS))))) bizi

I'm so glad that you got home safely. Falls outside of the home, especially on the pavement can be so dangerous
How is your finger now? I don't know if it would work for you because I haven't seen what your gait is like, but you could at least ask about a forearm crutch like I use. It has given me a lot more stability, but they are not for everyone. I really like the idea of having whoever you have for PT, or one of your friends, going with you to try the walker outside at least once. I know changes are hard, Bobby. I think that you have been very strong throughout tho |
