You are welcome. Hmmm you have me thinking ... cane.
Lost my Service Dog of 10 years 2 years ago (116lb GSD) - he was very effective in “parting the waters” for me.
So I’ll be checking out canes now - thx for the tip.
I have runner’s knee which now is arthritic and (according to the doctor) in need of a knee replacement. I bought a cane a while back and it is also useful for hiking (yep, you can’t keep some people down). As a secondary usage, a cane can be readily be used for self defense given the need to do so.
