I always thought canes were fabulous—romantic, even—until I needed one

The times, they are a changing . . .

So, there’s been a fairly big personal change for me recently. While living away from home the past six months, I’ve had to confront my need for a cane . . . and I’ve started using one. I was (am) a little shocked at what a difficult and conflicted decision it was for me.

If you’re interested in my thoughts and feelings about it, either for yourself or for a loved one facing similar chronic pain and/or mobility issues, here’s are links to my CBC 1st Person article about it, and a follow up interview about it with Shauna Powers on CBC’s Saskatchewan Weekend radio show.

Have a lovely day!
