I don't get bothered about it much, because I remember I used to take second looks at younger people with walking aids...wondering what happened to them. It's just people relating canes and walkers with old people, it' just not the case anymore. I use a cane and I also see wounded solgiers around here with canes as well.

People shouldn't judge someone until they know the truth, otherwise it's none of their business, just keep walking and smile... dont get bothered by it.

I find about 95% of people I encounter are nice and helpful to me.... They know I look young and have some trouble.
