My aunt who is in her 80's and was told by her doctor that she needed to start using a cane... She told him in a very loud voice (I was in the lobby) in no uncertain terms that only "OLD PEOPLE" used canes and she was not old. LOL

Well if she can't accept she's old, then she'll need to accept that she's disabled. My 28 yr old brother needs a cane still after a hip and leg surgery that has not healed.

Sounds like my grand-grandma. My grand-aunt put her in a nursing home when she was in her ninties. She used to push the other residents around in their wheelchairs, because she felt sorry for them, since they were so old. Most of them were probably 60s or 70s.
