Maybe. Thanks for the suggestion. Definitely gonna have to do something other that the simple cane. I can't even count the number of times I almost fell yesterday, and twice would have fallen on my back if someone hadn't caught me. I laughed it off at the time, but it was pretty scary. Did I mention the back (especially lower) is an issue, as well? And it's killing today!!
