I give my 91 year old friend a lift to church every Sunday, (he never misses) I have to put the Back seat down to fit him in, and his Walker, as I drive a Holden Barina, which is only a two door sedan, beautifully written Bro, well dine, blessings Roy

    You mean "well done" hehe thanks. Yes, my carers must have a decent size vehicle to carry me and my walker in when they come to take me out.

Wally the Waker #2 looks mighty fine, dear Geoff. I'm sorry to hear about your fall last year. :((
Mobility and getting around is so important. I am glad you have a new helper. It certainly improves quality of life.
Sending you my very best today as always.

Good luck to you with Wally 2. I hope it helps you navigate in your part of the nation. Glad your new conveyance will help you get out and about more. You clearly explain about Wally and the rhyme is excellent. judi

We call them Rollators here where I live. We sell them at my pharmacy. I have spent many an afternoon putting them together. I can see where you would wear the brakes down by pushing it while they are engaged. It would be like resistance training. Lol. They can be very helpful. Thanks for posting. Gretchen

    Thanks for your lovely review. I had seen the "rollator" tag for these as well. I just have to be more careful to unlock the brakes, constantly and check the screws from time to time.

You described your new walker well, Sankey. I enjoyed
reading your poem and am happy you got this great walker.
It looks like the newest version and is ready to take you on
your outings. It looks very safe, too. I liked the way you
formatted your poem with some rhymes. You gave
readers great details in your poem and notes.
Thanks for sharing, Jan

It looks like a fine, nice and strong walker, Sankey, and you've wisely chosen one with a seat. It's surprising how tired you get walking and a seat comes in very handy. I loved your poem, it's so well written with a lovely rhyme scheme. Very well done! :)) Sandra xxx

    Hi Sandra, fortunately the Government paid for it. If you look back I wrote a poem about Wally 1 and it has the bag on it I got from England as well. Could have got a free bag from the Government but Iiked the English one for $AU40. Thanks for the lovely review. 17 to look at this morning!

My wife has a walker that looks exactly like Wally 2. I wonder if they might be the Prince and the Pauper of groovy walkers. Hers would be the pauper, as we got it on sale on the internet.

    Yeah Bill I got mine free from the Government. Could have had a free bag as well but I wasn't impressed with the free offerings. If you look back Wally 1 has his own poem and the bag I still use is on that. Thanks for coming by.

They tried getting me on one of these things but I still use the cane. My Therapist is amazed at my wanting to walk out of my problems. I am slow but sure. Glad things help you, dear friend. Getting old sometimes is Hell on earth. LOL.

    Probably an independent type like my wife. It was a real job getting her to accept a power chair in the beginning. Thanks for the great review. More writing coming.
