Just curious......

Thanks. I just need to get rid of this fluey type thing so they allow me through the doors!

NfkD Good luck on Friday!

I know what you mean Jane, I get pain in my shoulder if I rely on the stick too much. I hope you're better soon, tennis elbow is not nice.

Are you sure they are waving, not shaking their sticks at you Katek ?

How fast are u driving!?

I use 2 carbon fibre crutches. Both for support and balance.

I use a walking pole. It’s a bloody nuisance!

I loved my stick too nfk and miss it but I got tennis elbow from using it . It was especially useful on the bus. You get lots of leeway if you have a stick!

I use a stick out walking these days as I still have one wonky knee (seeing the consultant Friday - wish me luck!). It’s handy for balance and keeping me on an even keel when walking as otherwise I look like Long John Silver. But, I can manage quite well without it. And I do wave with it. It’s very handy. Cars stop to let me cross the road. And I get seats offered to me. I may never give it up.

Maybe they wave it then bitterly regret it but you've moved on so you don't see the consternation you've left behind

Do they stop to wave ? H uses a stick on bad days but dosen't need it to balance when stationary.

Hope not Nonnie! Have had an incident free motoring career........so far!

Are you that awful a driver?. I had an aunt who used to complain that drivers were so impatient because they kept beeping their horn at her. Her driving deserved it!

It was the single stick wave allie which negates any support from said stick. Perhaps they’re gesticulating and not waving lemongrove........must try waving back and see what happens!

Do they wave them happily at you or threateningly?

How else do you wave if you've got a stick in each hand?
You can still have three points of contact with the ground....

They like to live dangerously!
