so---im 67 old broad. not great eyezs, other problems, etc like most people my age. recently i hurt my foot and knee and started using a cane in the house to get around . i resisted and hated it at first but gave in after housemate told me i was being a stubborn old fool. i had an old cane that as just a walking cane but it was ok but not real comfortable---so a friend suggested one of those canes that have a sort of crook neck.
i resisted for a l while cause, well, thats an old persons cane. im old, well, but i aint that old. so im 67 old lady, bad knees, damaged foot, bad back and i was fretting about a crook neck cane making me look old.
after my friend pestering me i got one.
dang if that thing isnt more comfortable and easier to use
i was really surprised at how well it worked. i practiced using it from my room down the hallway and to the living room and kitchen and back and forth to the porch, etc i went trying it out. dammit. it really does help. iwas surprised at how much more comfortable it was frommy old standard walking cane sorta shaped like a 7
.
from walmart for $14 i think ill get a backup as i have a history of losing or breaking things, ive learned to alwasy get 2 of something that works.
im thinking of putting racing stripes on mine
im an official old fart and i guess im ok with that.
