The best time to add a cane is when your safety is at risk. The feeling of stability and confidence in walking clearly overrides any hesitation or embarrassment you thought you’d have. I often tell people that those of us with MS who are more concerned with what others think have yet to spend enough time on the ground! Moving from a cane to a walker was the best thing ever. Tonight I was at Joanne’s Fabrics waiting in a long line when I just had to sit. I can not tell you how I was the envy of all around me who wanted to know where I got my walker.
