Get the kids some paint, light pink and medium pink and some beige, off white color. Let the girls paint the pink on and then let your son do the camo. Instant pink camo!

i'm sorry you're going thru all this.
i know how upsetting it can be to have a decline and have to make adjustments in your life. i waited til the last second to finally use the electric cart in the grocery store and then wondered why i waited so long as it was so helpful. i would suggest that you shop around a bit. go to some medical supply stores and use some. my original rollator (a walker with a seat) was great. but it weighed about 18-20lbs. i kept it in the back of my car and needed it to go into stores. then it became harder to lift. i got an almost identical one that weighed 13lbs and it's much easier. make sure that the seat is comfortable, it can hold your weight and that the back is comfortable. i paid about $140 which was probably too much but i didn't have the energy to shop around. sometimes with RRMS your body gets to a "new normal" after you have ON or a flare. it's frustrating. it sounds like you're on the right track and listening to your body. good luck.

I am so sorry you are having so many problems.
When I told my doctor that I was falling a lot, he said that I needed to buy a rollator. I asked him if I had to use it outside the house. He said something about how I'm not always in the house when I fall. When I bought the rollator and used it, I discovered just how much more stable it made me. It was amazing. Mine is red (candy apple, I think) with a seat and a basket under the seat, and with brakes on the handles. Snazzy! We lived in a two-story house with a basement. I was falling down the stairs, plus my legs were getting too weak to go up and down the stairs. So, we sold that one and bought a one-story house. It was a relief. Good luck with whatever you decide. ![]()
