My mother has SO MANY FEELINGS about my occasional cane use. Thank goodness for therapy (both being a client and a therapist) so I can say MOM I THINK YOU LEFT YOUR FEELINGS OVER HERE ON ME, PLEASE TAKE THEM WITH YOU WHEN YOU GO, BYE
I actually want to say this to MY mother! She shuffles painfully (and I mean painfully- she’s genuinely suffering) around and refuses to use her cane or walker because she’s waiting until she’s “bad enough”. 😭
