Do you have a sword cane? Might be just the ticket for
prodding assholes.
I know you said you won't be going out without the chair anymore, but there might be occasions where you are just going to one place and can get comfortable there, then home.
My Mom had trouble with her cane when she started using it full time. She didn't know what to do with it in a restaurant or where ever she was going. Hanging it on the chair back, people would knock it off going by and anywhere else, they can trip over it.
I got her a sectional cane with an elastic cord up the middle. It's called a collapsible cane but that name makes me nervous. She could fold it up and put it out of the way, but still handy. Unlike hinged canes, this has tubular sections and the elastic cord just keeps all the sections in one place when you break it down...very strong and stable.
