Feedback Needed: Drive Medical Rollator Walker - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I recently had surgery. I'm doing o.k., but my legs feel like Jello. I've already fell down twice and it sucks. My Doctor is optimistic that my legs will eventually get better.

I just wanted to know if anyone here has any experience or knows someone who does with this walker before I spend $70 bucks on one of these. I'd like to get some feedback. Pic below. Thank you.

I have two friends who live with this rollator and both had double hip replacements. I had one hip replacement and then went thru a knee infection and I did NOT walk for close to 3 months, I did a LOT of PT and use a walker, the walker is my 3 and 4th legs. Falling is not good and we need to use stability to keep upright. I have fallen and no breaks but do worry about hip replacement parts dislocating.

I always thought the object of replacements was to be better, BUT not the case in the 3 of our replacement stories.
