I took the dog out this morning and almost fell again, just a 20 ft duty walk. I do need those poles!

I too am afraid of falling, and the damage that can be done. I have a plate and pins in my left ankle, resulting from a nasty fall on ice several years ago. Falls can happen in the blink of an eye, no matter how careful we are to try and avoid them. I do agree that using poles would be of great advantage for balance issues when outside. I truly hope that you recover from this fall as quickly as possible Susanne.
