Watch your step, I don’t take kindly to being called an idiot.
There’s a huge difference between moving an elderly, infirm person suffering from severe osteophorosis around on the seat of a walker for a short distance - in a church or anywhere - or using that same walker as a means of wheeled transportation on an ocean liner on a three-week cruise.

A walking aid is not a wheel chair. And from the account of Eleanor Nordyke, Madelyn was supposedly on the cruise on her own.

I asked if your relative also made the cruise you described alone, or did she have someone with her? But you declined to answer.

where did I call you an idiot? I referred to the idiocy of your comment, not you.

She took the cruise with her daughter who is NOW using the same walker/chair due to a hip injury.

Still want to keep debating this ridiculous issue? I never said it was used as a wheel-chair all the time, I merely said it can be if need be. Geez

Fred, are you in any danger from the tsunami?
