Make sure the walking frame has 4 wheels as the 3 wheel models seemed to me to be a bit unstable and not very safe. One with a folding seat built in is also a good idea in case a stop is needed with nothing else handy. I speak from experience.

Thanks OWs
Our neighbour has a brill one. 4 wheels, seat, brakes, easy fold and light. That's the one I want.

We've got a couple of the three wheeled ones, they fit our car boot easier.

How quickly life can go t*ts up!
Hospital have just told MrsD they need her bed so she has to go home.
3 discs are crumbling.
She can't walk, so can't stand to wash etc.
She needs the mastectomy but is not strong enough for the op'.
They won't bring her by ambulance.
We have no wheel chair.
There is no care package in place.

On tip of that the 95 year old auntie is going home Tuesday. MrsD is next of kin, I am PoA.
My head is spinning.
Onwards and upwards though

As others have said , say no. I know it difficult but you have to play hard ball. You have to say you will not have her home until everything is in place . I know it’s not the nhs fault, it’s under funded and over stretched but that not your fault.

Note for those who may wake up wondering what day it is.
It is most definitely Today, not Yesterday or Tomorrow.

I nearly always wake up knowing that today is today because I very rarely go to bed before midnight and get up 6 or 7 hours later! Maybe 3 or 4 times a year I conk out early at (say) 23:55, but that would only be if I were ill or knackered after a 10+ hour bike ride...

Oh, speaking of bed... It will soon be time to initiate today's shut-down sequence!

Good morning folks, phone went about half four this morning, my Good Lady needing help with the commode, I've come back to bed now and can't sleep, I think I might need a nap later.
