I have a rollator and I only use it when I really need to. My husband basically won't be seen with me if I have it. He walked at the MS walk with me, but he didn't walk with me. He pretty much stayed away from me, and any time I tried to talk to him, he tried walking away like he didn't know me. My mom cried when I got it. My grandmother in law laughed and didn't believe I needed one.

The good news is that I don't need it often at this point. I do if I'm walking for any length of time or distance... even down to the end of my street and back. I wonder if I went to the gym and got on the treadmill with a walk pace, and just walked and built up my muscles some more (I'm not very out of shape, but there is something playing into this), I wonder if that would help me be able to walk longer distances without the walker... or maybe even run. I still have a dream of competing in a triathlon... I guess we'll see how that goes.
