Why my father can’t walk after a fall he had in December of 2022.

I have fallen too, but I am younger than your father, and I didn't have my walker near me. I did have some dizziness when I was going down the steps, with my walker, to get the mail, but I didn't fall. . My neighbors get my mail for me now. I don't go down the steps unless someone is with me. Your father may be fearful of falling again and that could be why he doesn't want to walk. He may also feel that if he used a walker that could make him look old, which he is.

Hello, yes I think my dad was just traumatized by the fall. Who knows if he feels old using the walker - he never said that but I'm sure he thinks of that. I know it's not stopping him from being able to walk - I just think he's tramatized. He says it's not walking when he uses the walker - he just wants to walk on his own. I tell him if you get stronger and keep doing this you will get there - and his answer is "bullshit" - lol. That's his response to a lot of things! Thank you for your response! Be well!
