Tennis balls on walkers…
Ok….back home, great! But my walker tends to make some loud noises I do not want it to make! At my folks house, it tended to make some snorking noises the first few feet from their master bath, and then it would stop…..but back at the condo it is doing it Every. Other. Step! I abhor making loud noises of any kind, so it is utterly horrifying to me! So, have to kill that sh*t right away! I bought some tennis balls, in the hope that this is the secret to squelching this annoying sound, and proceeded to watch some Youtube video’s on how to put tennis balls on walker feet. What a JOKE! Not one video mentioned how totally hard it is to get the dang ball over the end of the walker foot. NOT ONE! It’s all about “cut an X in the tennis ball, and insert onto the end of your walker foot”…..like it was a breezy walk in a park! No no, let’s get real now;…you need 4 hands, so you can open the tennis ball in the opposite direction it was designed, two hands for East and West, and two more for North and South…and then whilst you have all these flaps (that you cut) open, quickly try to make an attempt to shove the entire affair over the end of your walker foot! Oh wait, you need a fifth hand for that…but, Quick, quick! Oh, did you move too slow? Me too! S T A R T over! Seriously, a video that states exactly how hard it really is would have been sooooo appreciated, but they all act like it is so easy to do, when it clearly is not. So, just so you know, it all about the truth here on CHARCOTCHACHA!! I am reporting this stuff as I learn it so that you can have a heads up!
