Question is I work at a restaurant as a manager could I be fired for using a cane?Is there something out there other than a cane. I have been having these days quite a bit but would love to work as long as physically possible.Any help greatly appreciated.

Because of the nature of your work, you may find a quad cane more suitable because it can stand independently thereby avoiding the unreliable leaning or hanging of it during stops.

There is also a little standing cane tip deal for a single cane, I haven't tried it, but it may be an alternative.

It looks like this:


I hope you can work something out, it's hard to leave the workforce, but sometimes we have to make the hard decisions.
