Hello Joan...I think it was close to a year before I graduated from 2 wheel walker to the Rollator walker. It was too fast for me in the beginning and it would get away from me. As I got stronger, I just kept trying it every now and then and finally it worked for me. Do you live someplace where you can try out a pool? Maybe try to get some Physical Therapy that has a pool or if you have a spouse, kids who can help you, go to an open pool or a hotel with one and try it out. Have you done steps yet? I can go down a few steps with just one handrail, but if I'm going down my basement steps, I need to use handrail and one crutch. I thought in the beginning a recumbent bike would probably be better for me, but as it turned out it wasn't, so I got an upright one like I rode in Physical Therapy. I bought a used one off Facebook Marketplace for $50. I buy everything used if I can! I have no special equipment in my vehicle to drive. It's a Ford Explorer so it's a nice height to get in and out of for me. My left hip is gone and since I drive with my right foot, I've got no problem with it. I think if it were my right hip gone, I would have no problem using foot for the gas pedal, but would probably have to brake with my left foot....so otherwise, drive with both feet as some people do this anyway. When we go camping, we drive separately as my husband tows the 5th wheel and I tow the pontoon. Walking, biking and hiking were my favorite things to do. Since I knew I would never be a real walker/hiker again, I really wanted to ride a bike. I feel so free when on the tricycle and when we stop to take a break, I can just sit there on my bike, haha. I have a big basket in the back and I carry my foldable crutches in there in case I want to get off bike. I was thinking of going with the electric tricycle, but went with a 7 speed instead and very happy with it. Tell me more about yourself. If you want to send me a private message, feel free to do that also. I'll keep you in my prayers as I do with several other 'girdlestone' people I've met.....Cindy
