So when i went for my infusion, 1 of the nurses saw me and asked me where was my cane. She seemed to remember me coming in with a cane before. When i told her that I didn’t use one, she said that maybe i should look into it because it would help me keep my balance. what’s “funny” is that i’d written about my thoughts of using one the day before and then i go in and she’s telling me that it will help me. I’m still not convinced – i’m still a little afraid. I’m thinking it’s one more thing that I’ll have to “keep track of” when i’m walking and that could end in disaster. maybe it’s also my pride? maybe it’s that i’m scared because again – the progression – canes might lead to other walking aides which could eventually lead to a permanent chair. Of course there’s always the bright side…i could get a “cool” cane; maybe different colours and styles so that i have options depending on where i’m going…
