I agree about the cane.
I put off buying one for months when I should have. I was finally forced to because we were going to Disneyland and my husband said it's either the cane or the motorized wheelchair, pick one. I picked the cane (wish I'd picked the wheelchair, I was hurting for days!)

Now it's here if I need it. I use it from time to time but usually I don't need to. It is nice knowing it's there though and that I don't have to cancel family outings if my legs aren't doing so hot that day.
