I’m keeping using the walker, I got dizzy last night and was glad it was there. I’m seeing regular Dr today for wound check. I’m going to ask for 2 weeks more of pain pills.

So glad you had the walker. You might be dizzy from the meds or dehydrated. That is why I suggested that when you walk without a walker, do it near somewhere you can hold onto, if needed. If you walk outside without your walker, walk with someone you can hold on to.
I found that going to a store with a shopping cart is the best place to walk and build up your strength. You might want to try it when you feel ready.
