a) the "collected" canes - from friends/relatives, etc - are stored/kept in the garage
b the "hand-made" canes - here in the house.
c) Because of vertigo/balance issues I've been using canes for years but the use of my hand-made canes began in Jun 2013.
d) Most recently I've been forced to use a cane 24/7 - not much fun, but it's better than falling at age 81.
