#foldable cane

hey so if you use a foldable cane and it's a little wobbly in the folding part put a layer of washi tape or masking tape or such on the skinny part of the joint like this

like the part that goes into the other parts of the cane

i heard someone say they didn't like their foldable cane bc it wasn't stable and i didn't get it bc my first cane was pretty sturdy but i just got this one and it was in fact unstable

So excited, my walking Cane arrived in the mail tonight! It's my first time using one, and I'm a little nervous. But I'm excited because I'd be able to stand longer and walk steadily across campus, potentially on my own too!

A/N: This is a late update from this post, so I'll be adding a little bit more. Tips on how to navigate through a crowd below the line (as I learned how to). A lot of successes and a bit of good news on this post. :) [Link to cane is also in the original post].

My friends and I visited the Del Mar Fairgrounds in San Diego, CA for an event, which occurred on the parking lot. The lot was huge, wasn't very smooth, and since it was nighttime, the visual wasn't also clear. Since it was a food event, there were also random puddles of water that I had to navigate through.

But it went well! The cane didn't slip at all, whether I walked through uneven terrain, dirt, patches of grass, or small puddles of water - the end of the cane was sturdy!

I was also able to practice different grips on the cane depending on whether I was standing, sitting, walking, or speed walking- which was great because I've ended up needing this cane almost everyday I'm out and about.
