my rollator and  me by quietpurplehaze

my rollator and me

The plan was to use the rollator for the summer in the garden but I found it too difficult. Now, post-op, it's perfect for walking out, just until I can manage alone.

Gratitude to Aina Wifalk, a Swedish lady who had polio, and designed the rollator in 1978.

The first day of another year for me; trying to remember what happened to all the others!

Don’t you look trendy skipping along the path!

Don't you look dapper. Nice way to get about until you are fully mobile again

Great to see you getting about Hazel. I use my rollator around the house but rather cumbersome around furniture it is the only way I can safely walk. Love your purple outfit.

Nice to see you are out and about Hazel looks like your rollator could do with a splash of purple, lol:)

Good for you Hazel, think I need one as well.
December 19th, 2021  
That’s rather a nice one! As someone else said though, it does need some purple on it! 😜

I'm glad you like your rollator and agree they are a bit cumbersome indoors but a great help. I found mine hard to use before the op as I was not strong enough to control it but it's fine now - and a change from crutches. Hopefully soon will manage without either!

Do you know anything about an op yet?
