Not falling is certainly better than falling. Anything that can help prevent a fall is worth it. I use whatever I need to and am now going to get a rollator so that I can go and shop at stores that do not have a shopping cart. It is just way too hard to try and amble around with a cane for that anymore. The rollator will be much better for that particular job.

And, I don't believe that you are enabling your disease. You are just trying to protect yourself. Do whatever it takes. And yes, it's hard to have to use a cane or a rollator at any age but I have to keep moving safely. Take care.
