Hi
I'm a 55 yr old woman who over the past 4 years has found herself joining the ranks of the disabled. I now struggle to walk and now use a stick and have decided to embrace my stick by getting fancy, decorative, fabulously fancy sticks to match every outfit. I'm in chronic pain and now take morphine.
I really do struggle as I'm now almost housebound which is made bearable by my fab husband who has also found himself disabled due to arthritis and a progressive neurological disease.

Hi Bobbs, love the idea of getting sticks to match the outfits!! I am always trying to find funky ways to decorate my little girl's wheelchair and equipment. Have you come across Washi tape - it's a great way to temporarily decorate stuff as it sticks well but doesn't leave a mess.
