  • Anyone else have difficulty accepting the need to use a cane or walker?

    I had no difficulty with using a walker when going on longer outings outside of work. It took an accident at work during which I sprained my ankle to succumb to the necessity of walking with a cane on my job.

    I use cane for short to medium distance ( 20 yrs ). Rolater for longer distances. Having PT using the LSVT BIG program really helps with mobility. Simple sit to stand exercised strengthens the legs. I decorated my Rolater with Corvette sticker to add humor to the situation.
