Hope it's as nice in real life as it looks in the picture. Another plus is that it can fold into your bag, which is great, especially when you are out. There is something about the 'clatter' of a stick falling from the back of a chair or sliding down the wall it's been leaning on. It's a very particular noise, and seems to cry out "crumblie alert", "useless, shuffling person here" ......... not nice, especially if you are sensitive about your condition. You'll have to get a wardrobe of sticks Jac |

Try a local chemist Jac - ours has a variety of different types of stick I know what you mean about stared at with crutches - I use mine all the time and the other day I was happily sunning myself on the platform waiting for the train to work when a random woman just came up and said "what's up with you then?" Why do strangers think it's acceptable to be so nosey |

You could maybe also get an ordinary one for special occasions and dress it up yourself you get cheap and cheerful out of poundland sometimes my mum got one and its come in well handy. I dont mind using my crutch when I have to I just ignore the stares. |

I haven't got my new stick yet . I did try one in a local pound shop on Sat, Ceilidh told me it was a Grandad stick and Derek told me to put it down . I should really walk with two elbow crutches but normally just take one. I didn't realise there were so many others that need then here too. Yes people can be very ignorant and I'm going to start another thread about Blue Badges . |
