[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 457640, member: 11791"] Lisa - My Mom used this trick when she had knee surgeries - and later when she had a stroke. They have an old beater of a used manual wheelchair that they picked up at some garage sale for next to nothing. The wheels etc. worked fine but the upholstery was all chewed up or aged (not sure which!). They would take this wheelchair on her walks. She would push the wheelchair for balance, for as far as she was allowed to go. Then she sat down in the wheelchair and let Dad take her home. They had some old blanket folded over the upholstery for comfort. First walks were 15 feet... in which case, Dad took a very scenic route coming home... but she didn't have to worry about how far they went AND didn't have to worry about faling - she went as far as she could go, and Dad did the rest. Made for a less stressful walk. I'd lend you the one I have (waiting for when I need it), but it would cost too much to ship it that far! [/QUOTE]
