I did not need any special equipment or to be carried after my lower body lift. You don't need to walk much anyways. Just to go to the potty.

If you think that you may have problems after your TT then I would see if you could borrow a walker from someone just in case you need one. I did have one after my LBL to assist me in getting up out of a chair. I don't think that I would go out and purchase one but if you know someone who has one that isn't being used....I would borrow it just in case it is needed.

I'd have to agree with Vivian about borrowing if you think you'll want one. I just had knee surgery and paid $100 for one I used two weeks. Grrrr. If you lived closer to me, you could borrow mine.

I found the walker very helpful. You need to walk bent over for a week or longer and resting on the walker made it much easier for me. Another thing I was glad to have was a chair in the shower.
