Mine is made by Coleman. It was not expensive.

UpNorth, I have my own cedar stick that I made myself. It is more substantial, with the rocks up there etc. The Coleman stick is not for heavy weight bearing.
Oh yes, that is what hubby is getting me....a hiking stick. I have an oak one a friend made....duck head on it...cute, but no rubber tip, it needs that. I need one with a tip for indoors too. I don't need heavy weight bearing potential, just something in case I misplant. Misplants are getting more likely, ankles are going.....and right foot is quite numb.

Which brings me to the issue if my current regimen is really helping. I honestly think I have been blessed with hereditary, autoimmune AND traumatic PN. I have had funky labs, including urine billi, serum billi, up, and signs of distal renal tubular acidosis. Beginning to wonder. Also....TSH is 3.92, which seems on the high end....and Vit. D is low, I don't know the number, but, I have never had a low one before.....eh....I'm falling apart right now.

I am going to go comfort myself with my little peeping feather balls.
