I got my rollator 2 years ago...so I was 27. I hate that I need it but it gives me freedom that I wouldn't have otherwise. I bought mine on amazon.com but needed one for shorties since I am only 5ft tall. Mine has the 8 inch wheels and it has a canvas basket so that it folds up easy to go in the trunk. Cost me a little over $100...totally worth it for me.

Helps to have a bit of a sense of humor. Every time I am at work and I see an elderly customer walking towards me with a walker I think, "BATTLE!" (like in the movie Michael with John Travolta playing an angel). Thank goodness it never comes out my mouth...but I can't help but smile and chuckle...lol!

I'm just grateful for all the things I can do because I have the walker...helps me to keep things in perspective. It does take some getting used to...but things really are so much easier with the walker for me. I hope yours helps you just as much.
