Apart from them being valuable if you ever wind up in a nursing home or hospital there will be dozens of identical walkers around the place.
The bloke who ran is just an insensitive rissole and hopefully life will sort him out.

The motorised version (walker) is ready to be assembled but I have lost interest mainly because although the platform is close to the ground to me it seems to be really high (only 4.5 inches) and I have little confidence...
Plus I am getting better I feel, I hope...I seem to be getting my balance back and although my legs throb and tingggle I really think they are improving...I am doing lots of exercise to improve things and again I thank astronomy..building the box observatory, up and down the stairs for tools...all helps and just to have more to do than visit Dad each day helps.
