Fibro Vlog 1

Needed My Walker...

I was in the middle of a 5 day flare-up when I could no longer get to a standing position from a sitting position.  When I could get upright, my knees gave out and I tumbled onto the futon. FUCK!

Time to get out my walker. I only needed it, at first, for the one evening, but then I needed it again two days later.  The only thing I don't like about it is that it has wheels and sometimes goes faster than I do! I feel like it will ZOOOOM out in front of me.  Here's a pic I found on the net, but mine is all black:

  

I used to borrow one from my Gramma - I liked that one better. I may have to find one like it, since Gram is no longer with me.  Anyway, I liked that one better because it didn't have wheels - no zooming out from under me.  It was light weight too, so I could have someone take it upstairs and then put on my side of the bed - there to help me get up and out of bed in the morning! That one looked like this: 

The last time I needed a walker was... I think in 2010 and it was around Christmas time. I decorated it with garland and battery operated twinkle lights! It was great fun. Well... as much fun as could be had! LOL

I'm on the way out of this flare-up, but it sure is taking longer this time...
