Seniors

I resisted out of pride because I saw canes as the undeniable acknowledgement that I was old and embarrassingly in need of assistance. Well, as the old saw goes, "pride goeth before the fall".

When I finally relented and bought a cane, I realized how helpful they are in saving me from tripping, falls or being off balance. Just as you would put your arm out to break your fall, the cane serves the same purpose with the added benefit of NOT falling. My cane keeps me balanced, steady and mobile, and now I feel silly for resisting getting one and I haven't had a fall since.

Maybe my shared experience will give you another option. Take care.
