"I GET BY WITH A LITTLE HELP...

...FROM MY FRIENDS"

Cane

I'm shorter than I used to be.

though never was as tall as this magnificent tree.

Time and use has resulted in compression of vertebrae mid-back.

Simple stretching is helpful. The cane stabilizes my gait, measures puddles and piles of snow, detects sidewalk cracks preventing tripping and makes a cooperative companion.

I have three canes on hand, each of hardwood and each named

"Cora"

Knee Braces

Time and tides have worn down some bones within both knees. The Right one more so than the left. These simple flexible, washable velcro items stabilize the joints, making walks more comfortable and are protective for climbing stairs. I have not named either as yet, but I'm thinking "Lucy" Left and "Regina" Right.

Skin

The largest organ of our bodies.
It too, ages;
slackens and crinkles.

All's Well
