(8,107 posts)and knew I would be needing it more and more. I feel more confident walking in the grocery story because I have a shopping cart to steady myself. Figured one of the new style walkers, where you can extend the frame to accommodate long legs and not be stooped over might be good. I also knew I would be going to many protests and the walker will help make that easier. It comes with a bit of storage space under the handy seat. Yeah, water bottles and bull horn!
Got a good one on sale. Best purchase in a long time. I can sit when I need to and offer a seat to a fellow protester when I need to stand. Even rigged up a strap system for my flagpole and over-sized US flag! Thinking of putting on the bike horn I had given my late sister for her walker a few years back. And I may make a strap for my trusty bodhrán so I can join in with neighbors who bring kazoos, harmonicas, and that guy with the tin whistle who always shows up here.
So, find a way to make participation easier, Peacetrain. You will likely feel better among like minded new friends than being alone at home doom-scrolling the news. Water, hat, sunscreen, pride in our people acting together peacefully, it will make you feel better, stronger, maybe a bit younger. We The People ARE the US, not that crew of fascists who think they have all the power.
