Using A Rollator Walker

Recently because of dizzy spells and  blackouts I have to use a Rollator Walker. I mostly use it when I go shopping, Church, and when I go for a walk. I love the fact that it has a seat, I can sit down on the seat and rest, that is why I asked for it. Because of my lightheadedness and dizzy spells I can't walk for far distances. Like I have said Leukodistrophy has started to take it's toll on my body. I have seen others with my disease in wheelchairs but that is something I want to aviod. I still want to be able to walk as long as possible.

Difficult things for me to deal with having a walker are getting in the refreshment line after Church. Also at my age of only 37 alot of people stare at me when I go to the store.
As things start to progress even though I get the looks and stares I'm still greatful that I can still get around even if it is with my walker.
