Dolomite Soprano rollator…

Dear group….

I have posted my new tests results under the CIDP and the Success Stories forums… I now feel like I am all set to start an exercise program so that when the summer comes I will be able to do more… I still have balance issues and walk with a cane… This hurts my back after going any distance at all (1/10 of mile from our driveway down to the road) and so I have received a prescription from my neuro for a rollator…

Do any of you have any experience, or know of anyone who does, with the above model…??? It seems to be just what I will need… I live way out in the county with no pavements that are “walkable” nearby at all… I want a rollator that would be able to get over pebbles, grass, etc. without me trying to bulldoze through it… This Dolomite Soprano model has 10 inch wheels (bigger than the 8 inch ones that are mostly advertised… I have been in e-mail contact with the company’s rep (by Blackberry….never emailed with someone using one of those before) and there is no dealer nearby who handles it… I will be on my own as far as filing for the insurance (it costs $550) and trying to get them to take it back if it will not do what I want it to do… I will be calling the insurance Monday (taking another “sick day” before my retirement at the end of this school year) and will then call the rep with any concerns or questions I may still have… A dealer in NW Arkansas will then do a special order for me and I will pick it up after paying for it…

Do you have experience with this model or do you have a suggestion as to which forum I should post my question to…???

Thanks for listening….sorry for rambling… 🙁
