Cindy,

I think it's good for the guys, my husband and teen age son, to be 
learning how to do the laundry! LOL

I have a wheelchair, walker and crutches.  Mostly though at home I use 
my office chair that's on wheels.

I ordered a mobility harness for Monty.  It should be here next week.  
That should be enough time for me to introduce it to him a bit before we 
start using it.  I can begin putting weight on the foot on the twelfth.  
I'm planning on teaching Monty the new harness work as I need it.  So 
we'll be learning the new way of walking together.    So far he's been 
great around the house with brace with no harness. He catches on to new 
things amazingly quickly.  I think it will all go pretty smoothly.

Julie

I can't remember how you are getting about. Are you using crutches or a wheelchair or walker? I would forget the laundry and get the help.<Grin>
