But now it’s a life and death situation. So my brother gave me a pair of trekking poles a couple weeks ago and I’ve been using them to prevent falls and walk around the block. I haven’t quite got the hangover it yet but it’s working pretty good. I haven’t fallen yet. I need to get out and walk just for my mental health with nothing else. but those faceplants on the sidewalk can be painful.
