    Proud of you David.

    As they say, necessity is the mother of invention!

    Good for you, David! I admire your stick-to-itiveness. Age and illness force us to make adjustments we don't particularly care to.

    I'm 82, in excellent health (cross my fingers), but just last year I learned the value of a walker. There were icy patches behind my house on the way to the garage that were really very frightening. A friend asked if I had a walker, and it really put my nose out of joint. I replied with an indignant, "No."

    But later I got to thinking: my recently deceased mother's walker was in my garage. I brought it to the house, and started using it whenever there was ice. I quickly learned ..... six legs are certainly a lot steadier than two!

    Thanks for reminding me to be grateful! :thumbup:

    Great idea! I never heard of duct tape on the finger but I guess that would keep the needle from hurting your finger over and over. I will have to keep that in mind when I can't find my thimble.
