I need to get a new rubber tip for the stick and I don't need it for balance when walking, just for support when getting up off my chair.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-41564429079489484482016-09-25T14:46:06.841+09:302016-09-25T14:46:06.841+09:30joeh; usually that's true for me too.

But this time I've clearly overdone something, probably too much lifting of things I shouldn't or simply standing too long without a few minutes sit down.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-81971677127229342622016-09-25T14:44:02.455+09:302016-09-25T14:44:02.455+09:30Lee; I still have my balance, so the stick isn'...Lee; I still have my balance, so the stick isn't necessary except for something extra to lean on when trying to straighten up from sitting position. I don't need it for walking, I just walk around hunched a little forward and a little to the right, (that's the scoliosis bit, the leaning to the right). I'll be fine in time, these things usually take me about three weeks and I'm already into week two. Rest and no heavy lifting is the important thing.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-79322036252048343532016-09-25T14:33:55.361+09:302016-09-25T14:33:55.361+09:30Joanne; my balance is still good, so the stick isn...Joanne; my balance is still good, so the stick isn't really necessary except for a bit of support getting up from the chair or bed. I really need to get a rubber tip for it though.
