Casen Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Today I was able to put my 4-pronged cane in the closet and switch to a regular cane! It took me 4 months but I am so happy to have progressed enough in my balance and strength in my left leg to support myself without so much assistance from a cane! Who knows maybe in 4 more months no more cane!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fking Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 That's great news and it helps you go farther in recovery so don't stop now! It is a good thing being able to use the single point cane but every time I used it I ended up letting it fall to the floor. I mostly use the quad to help hold open doors and it sit there while I'm busy shaking hands and getting hugs at church and many other places I meet my friends. I leave mine at the foot of the stairs when I come in so I can find it when I'm leaving home and I was using a single point cane upstairs but not any more. I do my free walking upstairs. I bet if I really concentrated on my walking I could stop using a cane but you may know how that goes. Fred! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksmith Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 congratulations on the recovery. keep up the good work. Jumping from a quad cane to a single cane is a HUGE jump. Many people I know have to make that step by going from 4 to 3 and so on. You're awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
