Using the stick
I now have my walking stick and I am just trying to get used it. It is a lot to try and get used to not only using the thing but also to try and be seen with it. Still I will do my best and I am afraid that is all I have time for today, needless to say I will keep everyone up to date with how the stick goes and how everything goes.

It can help to cope with the feeling of attracting attention by doing something that will attract positive attention, eg wear a funny hat. Then you will expect people to look at you and be amused and you won't associate their looks with the stick. It is more about how YOU feel about the stick than other people - mostly they will barely notice, let alone think anything of it.

You do have a point that I tend to get funny looks from people when I go round wearing shorts in winter so I should be used to it really. How is this for irony though, we got the stick to help with my foot, to adjust it and everything I was using it round the flat and smashed my toes into it and now I am limped because my toes hurt (thought more or less stopped now).
