Hi Terry....I'm sure with your determination and hard work, you will get there! I can also walk with one cane around in the house, but I usually use my walker with the seat on it so I can carry stuff around or put laundry basket on it, etc. I have fallen a couple times since my surgery, and hurt my pride more than anything else! I was using the walker and it just got away from me or I stumbled a bit and the 2nd time I was going to sit on the corner of my bed and partially missed it and went right down to the floor on my surgical side. That was just a couple weeks ago when getting ready to go camping. I must have enough scar tissue in there to help pad everything as I wasn't hurt bad. I just iced area immediately and we left for camping 2 days later and I was fine. I'm a retired nurse and figured as long as I could move everything and walk on it, I was fine and I was. Soooooo......if you do fall sometime....you may be just fine afterwards, but I'm still trying to avoid it!!!! Good luck in your journey to wellness!

I use a walker with no wheels, but is it possible to go with a rollator?
