Default two canes

So, I figured that always holding onto my husband isn't really a solution to my teetering, though I do enjoy it. I considered a rollator, since I noticed a shopping cart works for me. My kids loved the idea. I think they thought they were going to get a lot of rides. But I found that two canes work just fine.

My problem is not weak legs; it's weak side and back muscles. I tilt left and right from the waist when I walk. I have the canes adjusted long, and I place them on the ground at an angle. Good for giving me two hind legs for standing, too, because sometimes I tilt backwards.
