Can walk at work with nothing, but use the cane, a rolling walker or a wheelchair depending on the distance. I only wish the Hurry Cane came in pink istead of only in black, drat. <br /><br />Anyway, for me it works better than a regular cane, but maybe it's simply not for everyone and it is not as stable as a quad cane would be. <br /><br />I don't work for the manufacturer either. As you were about the storm though. Rainy with bad wind here in NE Ohio. Ha, residual hot air from the politicians has turned cold and blustery.

I ate a pint of Ben & Jerry's so it wouldn't melt. <br /><br />I live just outside of Boston and so far, we have a windy rain storm, but not a lot of rain. The rain we do have is going sideways. The storm is a lot worse toward the coast with the whole tidal effect.<br /><br />It could be worse. We could be on the snow side of the storm. They are talking about feet of snow falling in Virginia, I believe.<br /><br />My daughter is a surgical assistant to a group of dermatologic surgeons. She HAD to go in today. Got there and sat for two hours without power. She then texted me and said that the power was back on and she had to go and assist with an "emergency botox injection" followed by an equally emergent blephoroplasty. You gotta hope the lights don't go out again just as the incisons in to the skin around the eye is made.

I've been through more than a few hurricanes and snowstorms, and this will be a good time to sit and read real books. <br /><br />Of course this is after you have denuded all retail outlets of batteries, flashlights, lanterns, lantern oil, ice, food and of course BREAD! Charge those portable devices while you can!!<br />For MOST people this will be a non-event, a good excuse to kick back for a day or so. For others, it will be a disaster (Roofs off, flooding, etc.) <br /><br />So everybody in Sandy's path, take care, heed the warnings you get and remember, this will all be over in a few hours, days, etc.Ms. Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11945753071493117365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-17250553194052942402012-10-29T08:52:17.522-04:002012-10-29T08:52:17.522-04:00Power outages ???
