Hi Ginger,
I am curious about how good your balance is and why you use them. Do you ever fall? Have they prevented you from falling or are they more a confidence builder? Do you think you’d fall without the cane or sticks? When I was in the hospital a physical therapist saw me and suggested that I use a walker. I told her I wasn’t ready to rely on any type of walking aids primarily because when I start to fall I can’t usually stop the fall. She told me that I just didn’t know how do use walker properly. She told me to lift the walker up when I begin to fall and then place it back down but she assumed that I can always get my balance back which isn’t the case. So the walker prevents my movements even more. Guess I better go clean up my dinner mess. I made spareribs and when I took them out of oven I dropped them on the stove and onto the floor.
Thank you,
Jake
