Cane not candy,

Okay, I knew that there were walkers with seats, but my wonderful hubby found a cane with a seat.  It's not really functional for everyday use, but when we go out it comes handy.  It's a little on the heavy side, I need to figure out how to make it not slippery on the bottom.  There is no grip.  Tennis ball maybe?????  It is nice though when we walk a lot, I no longer have to search for a bench or a seat, I have one with me already.
Today I walked a lot, I wasn't even that tired.  Granted I did take an hour and half nap after, but that is neither here no there.  It was great.  I really enjoy walking, I pray that this is the worse I'll ever get.  I can walk better and better every day.  If it wasn't for that darn balance problem, I probably could even do it without a cane.  
My next challenge are those daunting, horrifying, awesome step up from the curbs.......It's like I have to think ready, set, go and propel myself up the curb.  But so far I have defeated that dastardly curb, I refuse to let it concur me.
