I love doing shows and wanted to be there! I had good legs and 1 arm to use, my husband uses a cane to walk so isn’t always steady on his feet. We set up an outdoor canopy and the booth, and actually did pretty good considering. We still laugh about how crazy our neighbor booths must have thought we were!

I rented a knee walker for those months. My insurance wouldn’t cover it but it was worth the little it cost me. It was on wheels and I could even get to my car and go to the store if there was someone to drive me and help me get it in and out of the car. Please check into to it, you will be happy to be more mobile around your house and maybe more. Just call any medical supply company near you.
hugs and speedy recovery
