Ill have to look into those for sure. A lot like you, around the house I still walk around, dont even use the cane 90% of the time (I know where the walls and chairs are to grab if need be) and I enjoy walking through the neighborhood in the mornings. I can generally get in about a mile or so, if I get out of bed early enough.

As the heat continues to set in, I pretty much have to do my walks before 7 am... But by about 1pm my legs are done for the day, whether I go for a walk or not. I'm still good for around the house, inside and to the front lawn, but beyond that walking is a slow and daunting task that has led to many a trip and slip even while using the cane.

Unfortunately those little slips and trips tend to shred my poor ankles and then I am stuck using the cane around the house and quite a few times I've even had to resort to bringing the chair inside to use.

But I do need a chair for grocery shopping, and such. There's just no way the legs will withstand the walking and stopping and standing in lines. I have done a few times on really REALLY good days, but then I can't get the groceries out of the car and spend about two hours on the couch dying, and at least two days to recover. The DH wanting to go to Disney....hahahaha hahahaha there's no way I can make it without a chair.
