Well, that sucks.

Had a conversation with my physiotherapist. After some bantering back and forth, he told me it is his professional opinion that I need to get a cane.

Not need to think about getting one, but actually getting a cane.

My response ran along the lines of 'Er...why? It's not that bad. I am not disabled.'

His response? 'Actually, you are.'

Well, that's just fucking wonderful.

Some of the best people are disabled... (looks modest)

Couldn't agree more.

Welcome to the "I knackered my body before it got to 40" club :-)

It's a lot to take in all in a lump like that.

Oh that sucks.

Hugs.
You only are if you believe you are, by the way. Don't let some upstart's opinion colour yours. What does he know?

I'm still disagreeing with mine over this whole cancer nonsense :)

Mind you, canes can be cool...specially if you have one tipped with a silver horses head, and a concealed blade...no...forget I said that :)

Well no - you are if you are. How you handle it is the bit that's up to you, and taking a trip up that river in Egypt is certainly an option :)
I bet that spy shop in London has lots of cool canes......

Gee, that sucks. My sympathies, honestly.

But, on the other hand, if carried properly, a cane can make you look very cool.

I remember seeing one cane which was hollowed out at the top, so when you unscrewed the handle you found a concealed whiskey flask.

That does indeed suck. On the other hand, you can make a real feature out of whatever cane you get, as others have mentioned. *hugs*
