Thanks for all your advice and help.

We have a spare zimmer. My dad uses both for different things. Message me if we can help

I've got one I don't use. Happy for you to have it until your mum can get one on the NHS. Message me.

In the event that you can choose between models, it's worth asking about brakes.   Several people I know (myself included) had to stop using because on upward slopes you had to push very hard,  and on downward slopes they run away from you, which is really scary.   The problem is that with many models the brakes are binary - on, or off, but nothing in-between.   So it might be worth shopping around, and/or borrowing, and/or planning to find level places for Mum to walk.   

I hope she makes a good recovery.

Do the Red Cross still offer a loans service.maybe worth phoning if none via this site?

Ah shame!  I've just returned mine as it, or me, couldn't cope with Charlbury's undulations.

This is the supplier's website:

There are plenty on Amazon for as little as £70.00

Wondering if anyone has a rollator they are no longer using? The council care team tell us they are changing mobility equipment suppliers and it will be months before one is available for my mother, who is just back from the stroke rehab unit.
