Hey my friend I surely know what you mean about holding off having to use 
one! :-( 
However, the day will come using one is basically the only form of getting

"But better than no mobility at all!"
cheers,

Hi Ted,

I've inherited two walkers, from my late wife and, earlier, from her 
father who lived with us for a while, so I'm ready when the time comes.  
I just want to put it off as long as possible. :-)
