> How do other people deal with it.
A couple decades ago it was more common to see elders wearing canes. It was actually an simple, ancient invention that made a lot of sense. But I think there's years since the last time I saw somebody with one. Our society became youth obsessed, and now people are ashamed to look old. Perhaps making canes become fashionable again would help.
- tkgally 3y agoI haven’t been to the U.S. for quite a while so I don’t know how common canes are there, but here in Japan it’s not unusual to see people using them. Just today, I remember noticing three people walking with canes when I was out doing errands; there were probably more, but I wasn’t paying attention. Japan’s population is aging rapidly, which helps to reduce any stigma there might have been about using a cane. I don’t need a cane yet myself, but when I do there will be many to choose from: http://tsueya.com/ http://tsueya.com/
