Hmmmm. I had issues at first about how I would "look" using my cane, my rolling walker (Speed Buggy) or my trekking poles. I'm not sure how I thought I'd look: old, crippled, weak, silly...who knows?

I decided however I felt or looked with a device, it wouldn't be any worse than I'd look sprawled out in a parking lot or store waiting for the ambulance to get there.

As I said, I've been there, so I'm not making light of your feelings about it. But please don't wait until you end up in the hospital with a broken bone or worse!
