I don't. I do tend to kick my walker occasionally...don't think because it

isn't going fast enough either. ;-)

I agree with Flora, I have a power chair that I use for long outings. For

instance, when we took the kids/grandkids to Disneyland or when we go

somewhere that we know will be a long time and it's best to conserve my energy.

I

use the walker when we travel -- people stay out of my way in the

airports...plus I get to the head of the line usually. Around the house, I

just use the

walls or furniture if I need to, I don't need the walker in the house...yet

I have a question.

I use a sturdy walker all the time. When I walk I automatically walk on toe of

one leg. To make it clear my left leg touches the floor fully - normally. But my

right leg uses only the front half & the ball of foot doesn't touch the floor.

I find this method of walking easier than placing both feet flat on floor. This

I do not because I have pain or anything. I CAN walk with both feet fully

touching the floor but that would slow down my " Slow speed "

Does anyone walk the walker like this?

Just curious.
