Hi everyone,
I recently retired my walker, which I had been confined to since May, and I am trying despirately to find a quad cane. I've been checking around at medical supply stores and the prices I'm being told are RIDICULOUS! $45 for a quad cane? I seriously do not think so!
I've also been asking friends, neighbors (I'm surrounded by elderly neighbors), and family and I've been looking in the paper.
Has anyone found a good place online to get one for a decent price? So far the loweat price I've found is $25.
I'm really resisting buying a cane because part of me thinks I can do ok by myself, but I know I could really benefit from having one.
Also, my therapy is almost up! Only two more sessions and then I'm done! I go bak to the doctor in mid November and if everything looks ok, that will be my last visit with him.
I would really appreciate any info anyone can give...or if anyone has a used quad cane, I'd buy it from you. :)
TIA...
