Request: Zimmer Frame (AB23) We have an elderly friend who sings in the same choir as us. I watched him struggling to get out to the taxi using 2 sticks whereas I was walking much more easily with my Zimmer frame inherited from our eldest son after an accident long ago. Please does anyone have one that is no longer needed. Can anyone tell me if I’m correct that if you are issued with a Zimmer frame the NHS is not particularly interested in reclaiming it or having it returned? Happy Freegling, Mary low number Ellon Rd

Sadly my memory is going and I hadn’t remembered the orange one is ripe cotton and although the edges are okay for someone who’d enjoy using it for some creative task I’ll have to measure what is usable.
