@sue225 I did use a walker for a while and we had to fly to Denver for my son’s wedding less than a month month later so I had airport assistance. There was no way I could have navigated walking to the gate if it was far, and it always seems as if no matter where we go we end up at the furthest gate. I was able to walk without the walker and did not use it at my som’s wedding but did bring it along in case I tired. So basically I could walk short distances without assistance, and didn’t go out to the supermarket for a while, my husband had to do the shopping.
@rosemarya you are so fortunate that you didn’t have to remain on prednisone for long as I have had to due to low blood counts. I was told by my endocrinologists that Prednisone Is the culprit in my osteopenia degrading to advanced osteoporosis.
