Shocked by aging process

My aunt who is 91 has a walking stick, she doesn't like when we call it a
cane, it is taller than her!!!

About 4 years ago I couldn't even walk in a straight line, looked like I
was drunk and I swerved a lot. Sometimes my leg buckled a little. I went to
physical therapy and it helped so much with my balance. I also lost about
40-50 pounds and my knees felt so much better. I still have neuropathy but
nothing I can do. However I swear my neuropathy is better since I lowered
my cholesterol meds. ??

I have a flaming hot fuchsia (very bright pink) rollator and it sure stands
out!! I love the color. I will think about a walking stick.

Almost warm enough to walk every day again outside. I'm in PT now and we
walked around the cul-de-sac plus I have leg exercises.
Take care

You've given me an idea: a flaming hot fuchsia ribbon wrapped 'round my wolf's head cane! People may talk … like I should care? 🙂

My very best to you, @dj12!
