Yesterday I was crossing the road and I found my hands too full of shopping to use my stick. As it was an okay mobility day, I crossed slowly whilst my cane dangled from it’s wrist strap.
When I got to the other side my hips were sore so I stopped, rearranged my bags, held my cane properly, shook out my legs and carried on walking with my cane.
It was then I was caught off guard by a man walking past "oh aye in case the fraud squad are watching ya" he laughed. I thought I’d misheard him or it wasn’t aimed at me so I went "you what?"
