Walking aides *Anne

Thought I'd change the subject line. Anne, is using a crutch the same as a

cane? My bad side is my right and I was told to use the cane in my left.

But I end up using my right hand to hold it. I guess I better dig out my

arm weights .... especially for the left side.

hugs,

Cait

I started with the arm crutch in January 2009 - got too wobbly - just use

the one on the week side - I was slowly learning two last March with the

fall - that never quite got co ordinated for me

the rolling walker is too heavy for me to use now - nice extra seat though -

my sister has the small walker from spraining two achilles tendons at one

time - told her she was too old to run

she had space boots and a walker and crutches and I think a w/c

she has it stored at her home if I need it

my other sister has one cane at work and the other at her home for me -

extra crutch and cane are in the trunk of the car

my right side is weak - I am getting ambidextrous with it - being right handed I can use it to prop me where I need and reach with my right hand - when I meet someone they don't always understand right sided weakness - it is all over their face

I was taught to use it on the weak side - use it like a right foot when you walk - harder to explain than do
