    He has been using a cane for more than a few years. He does things he doesn't need to be doing, like carrying things with two hands, and not using the cane; or jumping up and forgetting to take the cane. A cane really can't prevent a fall the way a walker can. I would feel better if he tried a tripod cane. At least that's something more than a regular cane.

    He's getting hurt. He's diabetic and takes a long time to heal. Every time he gets a scab on his knees and elbows it gets knocked off. He's got scrapes on his back and sides. He hit his face on the floor on Christmas Eve. He hit the side of his head and his shoulder on New Year's Eve. Tonight he fell and hit his ribs on a sharp furniture corner. Before Christmas he fell on sharp stumps from bushes he cut.

    I'm just afraid that one time it's going to be too serious for me to handle. He is pushing the odds.

    Dad fell before Thanksgiving and I took him to the emergency room. Ultimately he had some home physical therapy and he ended up purchasing a rollator (walker with wheels). He says that he uses it in his condo but I have never seen him use it. He still uses the cane when he goes out somewhere. (he does not use the cane properly) If he were to fall outside I would not be able to catch him and would not be able to get him up off the ground. So much for buying the rollator.

    If you are off balance a cane is not going to do a whole lot of good.

    I woke up 2-11… I ran out of furnished fuel on New Year's Day the next morning the truck pulled in my driveway to fill my tank… How's that for timing?… And one dollar a leader… Last year it was I think a dollar 16 a liter

    worth more to someone who needs it as a tank or for building material if its actually stainless...most scrap places wont take fuel tanks unless its in a vehicle...they have to keep them stored seperate and ship seperately due to the environment laws

    next big stainless skin i find is going on my snowplow

    I remember watching a guy pull a wheelie on one of those three wheelers in the Honda parking lot when they first came out... he went right over and smacked his head hard. He didn't move for about 15 minutes. The rest of his co workers were frantically picking up all the new bikes that the three wheeler smashed into while this guy just laid there.


    Pretty sure he lost his job over that one.
