The walking cane was great for about 2 years. Now Edie couldn't walk unless she used her wheeled shopping cart to help her. Her hip and leg really aren't doing too well. I sort of get the feeling that a hip replacement may be in our future. Although Edie keeps saying no surgery. So the hunt was on for a better looking piece of equipment, than the shopping cart. I've seen al ot of seniors use metal walkers, but it always seemed to me that they were dragging it. Then some walkers would have little yellow balls, or plastic skis to make them slide easier. There has got to be something better than that. I don't know about you, but I watch those shopping channels. I guess I don't really watch, I flip the remote to a shopping channel during commercials. So, I'm flipping and I see the perfect walking companion for Edie. The Hugo. 
The Hugo is a small cart with four wheels, a padded seat with a basket underneath to carry your essentials. It also has hand brakes that lock so it's steady when you sit down. Wow, what a find! This was fabulous. I hoped Edie thought so too. One week later, Kenny and I take the Hugo over to Edie's. We walk through the door and Edie says, "What's that ? I don't need that. My cart is fine." Well, to make a long story short, within two weeks she loved it. She didn't know how she did without it. The best part for Edie, was everyone who walked by and saw her Hugo, stopped to talk to her about it. She was proud. So were we! |
