I keep one in the house and another in the car. It just makes sense for me. I can't stand the thought of ripping a rotator cuff again, or worse.

Please consider one!

I find that my symptoms do get agitated by falls. I think it's emotional for me, it's just soooooo different and humiliating, and painful!
Yes, I have a rollator. The thing is I was walking along(shuffling, actually), holding on to the counter when boom and that's all she wrote....
I have fallen with my rollator, and banged myself up pretty bad.
Thanks for the suggestion, though.

Nah, the only thing I hurt was my pride and bruised one knee(again).
