Yes, my caregiver's lets me hold their arms. So, it ends up like a semi-drag in the Mall, or the store, or anywhere. I bump people out of the way, not on purpose, just happens. I worry because I get so lightheaded that I will start to topple over. I don't want to fall on anyone, so I watch out more. I even let go of the arms there to help because they haven't quite caught the drift of help. Good luck to you Gina 47/7 mos
