CS> I'm with ya on the cane use 'like a tight line walker balance'. Thats
CS> me on stairs. In airports now, I need a wheel chair assist.
I have been using a cane for several years, and a rollator for about a
year. The cane can be good if one has a gimpy leg (e.g. knee surgery)
but questionable if the problem is balance (mine is balance, etc.).
Where we now live in a community of senior citizens, I get to see all
sorts of assistive devices. One that is intriguing to me is people
walking with two walking sticks that look almost like ski polls.
CS> Next week I'll be in Pensacola FL all week, Wish me luck! Work
CS> travel sucks now.
