Re: Rollator.
Some of the people at work used to use these Nom, or the ones with the seats on, so they could sit and have a rest if they needed to.All I can say is they seemed to find them very helpful.
If I was you, I'd go to a mobility shop and try some first, see if you feel you'd get on with it OK before you part with your pennies.
Another thing to consider perhaps is, feel the weight of it, because then you know if you would be able to fold it and get on the bus ok.

Re: Rollator.
I'm not surprised you are struggling with the stick, as it doesn't give you proper equal support, so you are probably over using one side, which will create more problems.I have never had to use one so I'm afraid cannot help you with personal experience. I have just had an idea though, I wonder if you could hire one for a month or whatever, and see how you get on with it first?

Re: Rollator.
I do not understand what you mean. What is happening next week?If you mean about moving house and it is to be within the next few days, maybe it would be better to wait until you are settled in and then sort it out?
Surely the district nurse, podiatry, or someone at the hospital can get you one?
Regarding bending forward, you need one with height adjustable handles, so you should be able to walk upright, same with walking frames. You are right, it would cause problems if you were constantly bent forward to walk.
