I went out and purchased a walker by my bed also Sara2. What a difference that made! Not sure whether the confidence was a factor but I do not feel unsteady after the first night on the walker by the bed.

Edward I use my walker when I walk long distances. I’m up to anywhere from 4K to 6k steps a day now. In April I could even do 600! The walker definitely helps with balance issues

I loss of stamina, I do some house work and get very tired.

Me too! That is why I have decided to place a walker at bedside every night - also have small chair at the side of bed I get out of in morning.

The weight loss, how much muscle strength you lose, the swelling in my legs and the shortness of breath really took me surprise.
