Anxiety about walking without rollator 7 months after tkr

Perhaps you have done this but can you practice very short walks with something like the kitchen counter close by to hold onto when needed. Set a little goal for yourself and practice it until you feel more confident, and then increase your goal a bit. I use a rollator some of the time and not others.

I thought I had responded but don’t see my comment so I must not have hit the right button! Thank you for your advice. I think I expected this to be a much faster recovery and this fear of walking has made me very nervous. I will try to be more patient.
