Help needed and ideas


I have to put my vanity down the loo and get myself a walking stick . I have cruches but hardly ever use them outside the house as people stare.
I need help getting up out the seat which is difficult if Derek isnt here. A stick is more practicul too.
Where will I get a nice one?
Alex I looked in the local charity shops ect but couldnt see any.
It's really hit home to me over the weekend. I was out a couple of times on my own and nearly came a cropper twice . Any ideas?

Dunno Jac - but I bet there are places.
You could go totally 'in your face' and get an outrageous one ... big knobbly thing, or flourescent pink or something! Or look for something very discrete.
Maybe do some web-searching on sites for younger people who aren't so mobile - MS and the like?
Hope someone can help x

Was going to suggest doing some googling but DM beat me to it

Hope you find something that you can 'live' with Jac, let us know how you get on x

Jac - if it were me, I'd go for something really outrageous to make a statement about having to have a walking stick . . . maybe get several so they co-ordinate with your nail colours

Not sure where to look but I'm sure the internet would be the best place to start!
