Anyone else diagnosed with acoustic neuroma, a benign brain tumor?

We do have handicapped parking. I still have some balance problems after driving or riding in a car. Wondering if I should play it safe and take my walker or try to get by with my cane. Don't want to look sick to my clients. The session needs to be about the client.

If it were me, I'd use the walker, @rose4622. In my humble opinion, staying upright is more important than appearances in your situation. I'm sure your clients have seen people use walkers after surgery and if they comment about it, you can have a short statement prepared that you are being extra cautious since your surgery and then move the conversation along to a topic about them. I feel sure that the clients will be happy to have you there and recognize your kind, helpful manner.

If you care to share more, are you a counselor, @rose4622?
