Wheel chair Use When

At what point will I know that I need to use my wheel chair. I fall 2 or 3 times a day.

You will need to use a wheelchair when it’s dangerous not to use one. For me it was using a rotator to cross busy streets downtown, It felt dangerous, it was dangerous, and a wheelchair came to solve the problem. On the other side, you need to exercise your legs and walk. Hopefully, you’ll be walking throughout your lifetime. Your instincts, what is safe and what is not are good I hope.

As we get older our bones begin to get weaker. That is one of the main reasons that I always endorse exercise. Falling unfortunately can create a terrible outcome. There is no definite time to use a wheelchair. That is something that a person decides for themselves.

EDIT: Usually my falling happens when I try to make too quick a move - if that makes sense.
