So I think my mom needs to go to physical therapy for them to look at her walker, make sure it’s fitted for her, and maybe some additional training. She is wearing out the tennis balls in 2 weeks. And I complained to her about how loud the walker is just now especially in the kitchen (although it’s been like that for a long time and I’ve been holding my tongue) and she got offended and said maybe she needs to live somewhere else. Or that I should live with someone more capable. Then she said she has other things to worry about and I basically told her don’t we all….and I deserve to voice my concerns. As far as I know I wasn’t rude.

Anyone else? Was I out of line?

My mom is 90 and uses a rolling walker. I think she’s using it incorrectly because she leans on it too much. The tennis balls made for walkers are only lasting 2 weeks. When she uses it, it’s so LOUD especially when moving around my small kitchen which is right next to my home office. I try to be nice but it’s getting on my nerves. I may try the walker ski glides. Thinking of having a physical therapist pay her a visit or two. Any suggestions appreciated.
