I'm going to read your reply directly to her, it's like you know her. She's really just getting started on her recovery, but already frustrated about toddling around the house with the walker. She will be delighted with just the idea of using a cane instead.
We've spent a lot of time on the regular bikes; my brilliant idea about that is to get her an electric bike, maybe get her out on the road faster. I'm not telling her that part, her birthday is next week.

I had mine done 20 years ago. It's still going strong. She will be happy with it.
