Hello, Miriam (@mir123). When it comes to cane use, I'm still a picker & chooser: I pick & choose between occasions when I know having a cane will be an asset and occasions when, from past experience, I don't need a cane (at least not yet 🙂 ). I'm sure if & when the day comes I need to graduate (graduate? that seems an odd word) to using a walker, I'll again be a picker & chooser, deciding between occasions before taking a walker along. ––Ray (@ray666)

Hello Ray, I also bounce back and forth in assistance. I have been battling cancer as a chronic disease since June 2020 and I change my "help" aids. I have been through about 6 different chemo types and they affect me differently.
Many times I went to my doctor in a wheelchair. Then the next chemo helped me more. So I changed to a rollator because I needed to sit sometimes for longer trips to Walmart. Now another chemo and I am walking more with a physical therapist helping me. I am thinking a cane will be in my future. I like the idea of spicing up a cane with different designs and colors!
