That was a terrible way to do it, but some of us thought you needed this cane before. I've used crutches (right now), canes, those wonderful walking sticks (I used two of them), and now I've got a bright blue walker with a basket. I'm not at all ashamed when I use any of them. I'm long past that. I really could care less what other people think of the way I look. I just wish they would get out of my way. I am slow now. The crutches really are more difficult and sometimes trip me up. But I am not able to weight bear at this time.

I think that whatever you need in order to be mobile and most of all SAFE is what you do. Don't worry about it, tell them to GET OVER IT if they don't like the way you look.

And if I ever get off these crutches, I'll buy myself a new bright shiney cane.

Hope you are feeling better.
