I have to say , walking with a cane is indeed a good thing ! Only hang up is that my back falls into a different alignment while using the cane and it creates an odd pressure on my hips. Nothing that can't be overcome though. It is making me think about investing in a set of hiking poles and seeing if this would allow me to do walking off paved or handicapped ready surfaces ?
Going for another walk today- I should take my camera and snap some pictures of the plants like Spunkysuzi does- I always love seeing what she finds on her walks !

Glad you are embracing the cane. Sounds like a good thing!
I had to use a cane for awhile after my knee surgeries, and it was amazing how much it helped me! But there was definitely a learning curve to optimal use and making sure it was at the right height for me. Good luck with it.
I have heard those hiking poles are good to use! Can't wait to see pictures from your walks :)
I used to have a set of walking poles. I loved them!
I did an article on walking poles and there is research to support improved balance and stability! Most people use two but some people do well with one.
I hope you are doing okay these days!
