The physical therapist says that he wants him to come home in a wheelchair, husband says that he wants a walker. How do I handle this?

With most hard casts he will not be able to use a walker as he will have to bear no weight on the foot.
I doubt that from your posts here that he would be able to use crutches or a “knee walker”.
He and you should follow the doctors orders, recommendations. Failure to do so may result in him loosing mobility permanently.
Transport chairs are easier to maneuver in smaller places please ask about one

Coming to an internet forum to ask these questions isn't going to give you the answers you seek Shirley. ONLY the doctors, PTs and the social workers can help you with this issue. We cannot possibly know the situation as intimately as THEY do. Nor can we answer your question the way you'd like us to, no matter how often you ask it.

Please speak to your husband's doctor, the physical therapists and the social worker at the rehab facility about your concerns. Only THEY can help you properly.

Good luck.

Leave Dh in rehab until he has a diagnosis of dementia or not, then send him home on crutches.

Shirley,
Not sure if you see our replies because you never respond to questions. All the questions you are asking can and should be directed to the physical therapist and the social worker. We really can't answer them because we are not privy to the tests that have been run and the progress of his therapy. Its not what your husband wants, its what he needs. If it looks like he is not going to follow doctors orders, they may not discharge him. They have to discharge safely. He can't put weight on that foot so a walker won't help.

Again, please request a meeting face to face with his therapist and a Social Worker. Make a list of your questions. These are the only two people that can give u the answers.

Do come back and tell us how things go. We like updates.

Don’t use all caps to shout at people to answer your questions. What kind of foot surgery did your husband have? What does his physical therapist say about him using a walker at home? Do you have an aide or other assistance for him at home? We can offer better answers if you provide forum members a response? We cannot assess if he has dementia. That needs to be evaluated by a doctor. You need with his care team, social worker and follow their advice. good luck.

Shirley what have you learned from his docs, physical therapists, social worker, etc. What are the realistic chances that he will be able to function at home? Please respond to this question.

Has he been evaluated for dementia?

Shirley, you really need to speak with his doctors and the social worker.

No one here can know what is going on with your husband. Please seek the advice from his care team to help you understand what is going on.

I know this is hard and scary for you, not knowing what is happening with our husband's health is probably the hardest position to be in but, you have local resources that can help you.

Was your husband always kinda stubborn?

Traditional walkers aren't made for people with broken legs. Maybe a knee walker could be a possibility?

Listen to the doctor.

a walker would be dangerous. he has to use the wheelchair as recommended or stay where he is.
