Hi all, Does anyone have any suggestion on how to ease my dad's fear of going down ramps? While I was out with my folks yesterday, dad wanted to cut across the path of grass & lean onto the car & walk his way around it rather than go down the "handicap access" ramp, which was right in front of the car. Another time, he didn't want to go near the curb as he was "fearing" the yellow curb was a drop-off. About 6 weeks ago, a walker (the kind w/big wheels, hand brakes & a "seat") was supposedly ordered thru the VA. He was told originally that it would arrive in 7-10 days but it still has not yet. In fact, as I understand it, it was actually only ordered 1 week ago. I'm wondering if his fears will lesson any once he has use of this walker.
