 CS> I'm with ya on the cane use 'like a tight line walker balance'.  Thats
 CS> me on stairs.  In airports now, I need a wheel chair assist.  

I have been using a cane for several years, and a rollator for about a
year.  The cane can be good if one has a gimpy leg (e.g. knee surgery)
but questionable if the problem is balance (mine is balance, etc.).
Where we now live in a community of senior citizens, I get to see all
sorts of assistive devices.  One that is intriguing to me is people
walking with two walking sticks that look almost like ski polls.

 CS> Next week I'll be in Pensacola FL all week,  Wish me luck!  Work
 CS> travel sucks now.

Luck to you and have a successful trip.
