Hi everyone thanks so much for all the replies on my previous thread. 
For the past couple of years I have relied heavily on the use of my wheelchair. But now I am really desperate to get to use my walker. My mum is the best but it super protective and doesn't want to me to use my walker as she is worried about falls or fatigue e.t.c. I totally understand but I am really wanting to improve the amount of time I am walking as being completely honest I have felt quite low recently and i just want to feel like I am progressing. The difficulty is that my chair is obviously needed on shopping trips as I know I couldn't cope being upright for a long time. (I have PoTs) does anyone have any experience on using a walker and the best way to begin? I currently use my walker in my garden and on my drive . Thank you
Emma
