Admittedly, as a young healthy guy I didn’t see it the way you all do.

Even still the whole thing seems quite unwieldy, but I have a better understanding now.

Don't take it for granted. There are 20 yr olds in nursing homes who need things like this. Trust me. I've learned.

My initial injury was when I was 25. I was taught to walk it off. There were two weeks of pure h*ll (allergic to opiates). I ignored the problems for many more years until a tumble down a hillside with a lawnmower. UGH! Still walked it off and downed many Motrin with Jack. Finally, working on the house with an impact drill sent me to neurosurgery. I had temporary paralysis in my left arm and then debilitating pain.

The devices are for real. When we are young we cannot imagine what will happen when all the injuries add up. By then we wish we had more forethought about the effects of gravity and the youthful blindness of invincibility.

Been there as a young person and could not imagine all these device for "old people." I could not imagine them until things broke and I needed them.

Understood and just take care of yourself while young. Those gravity related issues will come back and get you.
