My husband wants to buy me a "bitchin' cane" he said he doesn't want me using some (please know he's joking here, not meaning any offense to anyone) "old lady grey medical looking cane." He said he wants to get me a black one with a silver dragon with ruby eyes as the handle. Not real usable, but fun sounding none the less.
my question is how do I know when I need one? I've been hobbling a lot more lately, my walk has slowed considerably, to the point I keep yelling at my husband to slow down since it looks like he's leaving me in the dust when we're out. When I get tired I tend to limp a bit, and my hips feel unstable. But like others I'm not sure I quite cane material just yet. I feel like I'm still OK enough. But sometimes I really feel like I need help.
