[HumanSer] Keeping long canes

[Ericka Nelson]

Those things are too telescoping if you know what I mean. I don’t feel like they are sturdy enough but I love the concept because it’s easier to stick in a backpack and keep out of reach from dirty floors, sticky hands and other places long handled cans end up.

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.

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.
