Walking with a walker, what should I carry??

My ankle is broken, and I had trouble using crutches. So now I am trying to work with a walker. There is very little room to carry anything with me, so I need help. From those who are "walker" people, what do you find essential to carry with you out of the house?

I've seen a lot of people with walkers who have a bicycle basket on the front to carry their stuff, like cell phones, keys, etc. They're pretty inexpensive, and it might help you get all your essentials around with you.

A fanny pack might help too. Or if you have a lot of stuff, use a back pack.
