As for help, I have plenty of friends who are willing to help.
RJ, when I sit on the sofa with my wheelchair in front of me, can I stick my leg straight out and rest the back of my heel on the seat of the wheelchair? Is that considered weight-bearing? There is no force from the bottom of my foot up through my leg; the force is against the back of my heel, because my leg is parallel to the floor.
ETA: Our posts crossed, and of course, you read my mind. The walker with the seat sounds great!
ETA II: Check this out: $100 at amazon, AND I have a $50 birthday gift certificate waiting for me there.
