artist....thx for the articles....the pix r a huge help....i'm strictly a visual learner!
barb....me too - one of my big concerns here is how well i'll be able to use a cane at all with my bad arms.....and i always take seriously any advice offered by a talking moose!
jose.....LOL here because of this:
Shoot....Bill? I think that was a little TOO much that time.....Where's the friggin' Super Glue? Why can't you put anything back where you get it from?
think maybe i've been griping too much about his sloppiness?
the funny part is that recently we were at home depot and i grabbed a super-glue to put in the cart and bill said "we don't need that, we HAVE superglue" and i told him that if he could find the stuff when we got home, i would return the new stuff.....last time i checked, he was still looking....and yes, i HID the new stuff so that i can find it when i want it!
back to the cane (this is turning into much more of a story than i anticipated).....a quick look at my new avatar will show u my birthday cane.....my girls know that i think giraffes r fascinating, so they hunted down a giraffe cane for me....the giraffe spots continue down the entire length of the cane......their (correct!) thinking was that if i had to use a cane, i would want one with a bit of panache.....i may be getting old, but i REFUSE to be a little old lady!
so now y'all understand why i simply have to use this particular cane, or at least start my efforts with a walking stick with this one....tho if i find that it really makes a difference, i will probably get a more practical cane, and use this only when the kids r around....or i will use this one as the cane in question when i make the threat "watch yourself, or i'll whack u with my cane".....the best part of needing one is the chance to make that threat!
mark.....you're right...pharmacists r a terrific resource.....they go to school for 6 years to learn everything they know, and then spend half the day telling people where to find the cough drops.....most of the pharmacists i've encountered LOVE being asked a real medical question!
joan, if u gave me bad advice, it would a first!
thx again to all.
