WALKERS/CANES/ROLLATOR
I am going to the VA on May 3 to see if I can be fitted for a taller cane and walker and rollator. I am almost 7 feet tall and the ones I bought on my own are not tall enough me I have to walk slightly bent over and it causes me some back pain hopefully the VA can help me.
It is bad enough that I have ALZ I am going to see my neurologist
Ma10 to see if I have Parkinsons . Please pray that I do not have Parkinsons.

I will surely keep you in my prayers David. I am hoping you will be getting a new cane - walking with a cane that causes you to bend over can be awful for your back.

I’m hoping you can get relief with the correct sized cane. Wishing you the best NOT having Parkinson’s.

I received my rollator last week and I finally used it when I went to church and was able to use to go to communion instead of using my cane.
