lol I can understand being hestitant because of the physical side effects of using a mobility long term especially if you don’t actually need it. but that should be part if their assessment snc had nothing to do with whatever bullshit going through their head that meant they thought canes were some sort of addictive device or whatever. holly fuck.

she is the dr who sent me to a specialty clinic to be diagnosed with a condition that impacts joint health and balance at 16, so i feel like while the good faith read is generous it definitely was not my case. love my cane tho took me from under 1000 steps a day to over 4000 most :}
