We got a wheel chair just for shopping and school events because many times you have to park so far away. And I use a cane when I'm walking, not because I really need it, but it acts as a signal to those "huff and puffers" that think I'm moving at a snail's pace that I do have difficulties. People seem to go around without making comments when I use the cane. Just don't hang it over a chair in a restaurant and forget it. I also have a mobility scooter that I've used at Cross Country meets, tennis matches. I can go, and not be as restricted as sitting in the car is.
