I had one given to me by Orthopedist for my knee. After I lost weight I didn't really need it but when I looked it said I met the guidelines for COPD which were FEV1 less than 1 liter so I didn't turn it in. They had given me a permanent one for my knee so it just comes to me every two years. Sometimes they give a temporary one but he told his sec'y to give me a permanent one. I had mixed emotions at the time. I don't use it if I can find parking fairly close. Seems to me everybody I know has one and yet they can walk for miles when they are traveling and sightseeing. Also, have some people that do a lot of odd jobs around where I live and they have one so it isn't hard to get. I had to convince my parents in their 90's to get one even after my Mom had a couple strokes and my Dad had a catheter and colostomy full time. Different generation. They were the tough ones.
