Hes using a Rollater walker with a seat
If you feel the need to take him somewhere, turn the damn Rollater around, let him sit down, then you can wheel him anywhere, like hes in a wheelchair.
Oh but no.
Be a badass.
Take his Rollater.
Cuff his hands BEHIND his back.
Now hes at-risk for a fall, for breaking a hip.
He cant walk asshole
Thats why he uses a walker
