Walking Stick

I now use a walking stick. I became worried because of falls, trips, problems with stairs, walking into things. I was worried that my tumour was putting pressure on my ear and effecting my balance. I now think differently. I think it is more to do with my poor aatention span and poor concentration. Now I m being more careful and trying to think ahead I am doing much better. Just need to be careful at kerbs, verges and on uneven gound. No running up and down stairs and use bnnisters. Stick is very useful in town.
I went shopping in Telford one day last week with Jamie. While he went around some clothes shops I tried the book shops. Unfortunately I could not remember where we were to meet and I got lost I was wandering with my stick looking lost and several nice shop assistants came and offered help which was nice. The mobile phone is very useful in such situations
Later in the week we were in Tesco. I was using the trolley for the shoppping and to lean on as I walked around. I managed to crash into a lady in front of me who was not well pleased. She turned on me but saw my stick and it was a 'get out of jail free card'
On Monday this week James had to go to Aberystwyth to sort out some documentation for his new course. I went with him and had a nice walk along the sea front while he was in the Admin block. It was great. The footpaths along the front are very goodand it was easy for me with my stick. There were also lots of rails and posts to hold on to. Brilliant - thank you Aberystwyth council.

My stick is an Acacea stick from Africa so I hope that whoever cut it got a fair share of the price I paid
