Hi everyone! I started my new job and promptly got one rotten cold. Besides having one cane for personal use and an extra cane at work, how does one keep handles on straight chains sanitary? I work in assisted-living is in activity assistant so I’m on the go a lot especially since I work with dementia care. Like he tends to fall on the floor often. One can only do so much Hansina Tyser in a day. I do not plan to cave-in to a folding cancel any other suggestions? I also wonder if there’s a sidenote, the cans that slide up into the handle, sorry I forgot what they’re called, are they more sturdy than they used to be? Are used to have one and it collapsed on me all the time no matter how secure I tried to make it.

Thanks for any advice everyone!

On a sidenote because I came to the urgent care and I’m in Madison where they have the UW Hospitals & Clinins, a study was available to me because of my symptoms. I got 30 bucks for attempting to do a home nasal swab kit. The guy thought I gave him awesome improvement suggestions. Hopefully they can make this totally accessible to Low Vision and totally blind. I did my best guys. Nice to get paid for educating peopleonce in a while.
