Hello, Sunnyflower. I adore my walker. 11 lbs is the max for me to lift, definitely out of the trunk of my SUV. I keep it in the car to use whenever I go out, mostly to Mayo for appts. I bought a normal, dull, regular rollater in 2919 when recovering from a hospital stay, insisted on red, so they sent a burgundy one.

It actually helped so much. I needed it for a couple of years, but was determined to fight through all the health issues and restrictions my body put on me. I was furious to have to give in and use the walker, but the rehab nurses/docs wouldn't let me go home w/o it. I thought I was giving in to weakness, that I had to be strong. So began my long journey toward learning acceptance. The first steps to that healing were taken with a walker.

I couldn't lift it at all, so it stayed in the car and I used the valet parking at Mayo. But, when I needed to use it other than Mayo, I couldn't lift it out. So began my search for a lighter version. You see, I really do love it. It brings me joy, I smile each time I see it. It is a symbol of my growth and healing, of acceptance of this body as it is, but determination to take each step head up and happy, I am happy.

Thanks for giving me this fun gift of joy! Blessings, I pray you have a night of peace, free of pain and know you are loved. elizabeth
