[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 201448, member: 393"] [B]You know Heather, many people use quad canes.....with-o the embarrassment that you seem to be experiencing. You've been given this device (not unlike medications) to function to the best of your abilities, not to embarrass you. Forgive me, I take issue with this talk of embarrassment. If I didn't have my quad cane or my walker I could no longer function - I'd be stuck. Or more stuck than I had been a year ago. It seems to me your next step would be physical therapy (you don't necessarily need a diagnosis - my PT is for endurance & maintenance). Decorate it, if it helps, but use it with pride. Don't let bitterness & anger creep into this & take over now. Your personality & sense of humor is delightful; you want to hang onto it to keep moving forward in whatever direction you can.
