Experimenting with the Walker

I decided, after wearing myself slap out using the walker the last few weeks, that I needed to try something a little different. So we've been looking for another walker at the thrift stores, thinking I might try putting wheels on all four legs. We found one yesterday, and I put the wheels on this morning. I've only tried it in the house today, but it feels wonderful. I think a lot of the tiredness was coming from the resistance I was getting from dragging the tennis ball covered back legs across the carpet or the cement.

DH brought home a Prevention magazine from the grocery store today that has an article about a set of leg exercises in it, using one of those balancing balls. We bought one at a yard sale a few weeks ago, thinking I might be able to do some therapy with it. I'm going to ask the Neurologist Monday if I can do any of these exercises, as they look reasonable to me. I'm also planning on asking him if he can tell if this PN is permanent or temporary. I know it may be too soon for him to know, but I need to at least ask. I've been this way almost a year now, so I think I've been pretty patient.
