My father fought using any type of mobility assistance to his detriment. He spent the last few years of his life land locked in his house because he would not use a motorized scooter. He fought using a cane until it was almost to the point of his needing a walker. He fought the using the walker tooth and nail. My wife and I vowed we would not take the same path and use whatever tools we could to keep moving. Hopefully, we keep the vow, but vanity can be hard to overcome.
