H is insisting I use a walker for a while. I've fallen a lot over the past few months, and he's worried. I get it, I just don't want to give in.
I can handle casts but I cannot handle slings. Slings make me feel restrained.
And use the walker - a broken hip, for example, is even less fun than the break you have now. Just a gentle encouragement.
