“What goes on four legs in the morning, two in the afternoon, and three in the evening?”
Such was the riddle of the sphinx; and when Oedipus answered “man,” the sphinx cast herself off a cliff.
Well, I have a cane now. Bat Masterson, that’s me (or could be, if I had a derby). It shouldn’t be too hard to learn to use it properly. When I had to borrow my Grandpa’s cane, forty-some years ago, I didn’t do it right and it threw my back out. Very painful, and for a long time!
I have now experienced by riddle of the sphinx in person. I’d just as soon have missed it. But these things sneak up on you.
Wow, I know you will make out OK. I have several friends with those and they seem to like them.
I’ve needed to use a cane, off and on over the years, and quite appreciate them! We keep a whole collection on hand. If you need to use one, it may as well be a good looking one! 😁
I am very thankful for the mobility aids available now. Especially my husband’s walker. He caned it for many years, even using two at once, because he didn’t want to resort to a walker. When he finally gave in and got one, he was sorry he waited so long!
I see canes as quite a blessing.
Just have to get used to it, though…
