    I know this is somewhat silly but I have named all walkers and chairs I have/had. My walker is Ranger, wheelchair is Jay(so original, I know) and my power chair is Betty.

    Do you have names for yours? If yes, what are they?

    I always name mine. When you personify a DME then you can bring humor or lighten stuff because FA is serious enough. My red walker was Walker Texas Ranger. I have a black one now and her name is Johnnie Walker. My wheelchair is Jayonce (it’s a Jay 2).
