I got my first cane in the mail today !!
In the box along with the cane and directions was a whole series of mixed emotions....
I mean... I need it, there's no doubt about it.
The Dr. has ordered it.
I can barely walk on my own anymore.
The Doctors orders say I'm not suppose to walk for more than 5 minutes at a time :(
Uhhh....the dreaded moment in an old woman's life!!
But wait.... I'm not even old yet!!
Am I ?? I mean I'm only 38!!
This can't be right...
Maybe this is for the neighbor....
No...it's for me.
I can only wish it was for the neighbor.
At least...it's pretty cool looking :)
Check it out....

I chose the blue one!!
It's actually more like a teal (my favorite color!!)
I've already checked it out around the house...
Now I just have to get up the nerve to take it out of the house ;)
Stay tuned for more on my new cane
and my official review...

Steph, I totally know what you mean sweetie! I am only 28 and I am using a wal;ker currently but I have so many falls my doctor just asked me like 2 appts ago to see about an electric chair. I've faught all my frickin life to walk! I'm not giving up now! I think you will look beautiful with your new cane outta the house! They will be staring at your smile, not your cane! :) Keep your head up, all changes take time. ;) xoxo Haley Gregory

Since I got off sugar... most if not all of my pain left.... don't know why.. but it did and adios to it. Now if I can cure my digestive problem.... I will be thrilled.
Here is a blog you might want to check out. Kim is a great lady. Because of an accident, she is in a wheel chair and just starting to use a cane.

Hello, Terry is so nice to recommended me! I have MS, would love to get back to using a cane? I can use a walker sometimes.

Steph,
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry your body is failing you. But... looks like your mind is in shape. You don't look old from here :-)
