Hi All. The response to my request about 4-Wheeled Walkers is a prime example of how great and indispensable this list ia. The response has led me to new pathways and new solutions for my pwp. Thank you list. I know that some persons have become disheartened because of the political partisanship and the theological attacks on stem cell research, but please do not leave the list. Instead, make it work. I have one further question. The U-Step does seem to be optimal. However I am not sure whether it would work well on gravelled paths or on hard impacted dirt paths. Does any one have experience on these surfaces. We have found a store in Santa Monica that carries the U-Step and we shall go there to check it out. However everything I have heard and read says that it will be optimal. Thanks Again. Jules, cg for Doris, 80,10.
