I don't have too much trouble if I'm holding on to the carriage. it kind of

acts like a walker and NO I don't move fast.

I have found it is far easier when I am in Wallyworld or Kroger, etc.

to utilize one of their scooters. They don't move fast, true, but

neither do we! That seems to help on my exhaustion level.

For stores that don't have the scooters, if DH is with me, he goes in

and gets what we need while I stay in the vehicle. I try to bring a

magazine or book or my crochet with me so I have something to do

while he shops....lol.....we're going to find a way to make it work!
