Thank you Aarcyn!!!

I'm kind of scared he will suggest the walker versus cane because it seems the walker will prevent a fall better than a cane.

I don't want to do any of them as I feel that will be enabling the disease. Like hey you win this battle MS because I'm walking with a cane now, and I just don't want to give my mobility up. But like you said not falling is better than vanity... ugh..

thanks again!
